Hi Else, looking through the new section showing all the images we have missed giving crit to. my initial comments are i like the subjects and may have gone in closer with a portrait shot to get more colour and detail in the image. Would definitely have cloned the blue lampposts out (easily done) and this version would have ensured the gap either side of the poles was the same as it is unbalanced. Saying all that i like the subjects and wish i had interesting things to look at where i live like this. I would have probably taken some close up shots of the detail in the totem poles well if it were me, say the faces!

Hi Else, very interesting shot, I think Dennis has already covered everthing, had a play in photoshop.

Hi Dennis and Dave .. thank you for the help .. and see what you are saying .. and Dave it really made quite a difference with a bit of cropping and cloning... Dennis, I might have to head back to the beach .. and take a few photos of the faces .. never even thought of that .. duh .. lol ...

Hi Else, Agree with what Dennis has already said plus I like Paul's version which is much better balanced.
