this is a nice view :)
but being too critic, it's a pity for all the trash abandoned over the ruin!
and perhaps the grass/trees over the ruin make it camouflaged with the background thus the perspective and depth of view suffers a bit...
I hope I'm not too harsh..
I like the pic :)
PS it seems to me that you have travelled a lot... lucky you!:)
If I remember you are going to go/ have just been for the 4° time in India... ?

No Nicola are not being harsh at all.
As en excuse for the not so perfect framing I have to tell you that these images are shot while walking with other people.
This fact makes me to take the pictures in a rather hurry way.
I just see what I think is nice and take the picture.
Trash on the scene is not something I want to hide or show. It is there and assumed. :)
Yes, we - my wife and myself - we try to travel as much as we can afford. We love to travel. We love to see and be with people from other countries and cultures. However, our travels are short. I mean for a short period of time, just a couple of days. But we can't have everything can we ? :)
India ? Yes, soon and yes, it wil be for the 4.th time, always to different regions. India is so large and culturally diverse... :) People are charming also. However, at the eyes of an European, one has to be aware that will see some less ... how shall I say ??... clean, different, convenient situations. It's their culture, their way of living... :)

I like this. Moody and atmospheric.
One tiny nit pick; the sky visible under the bridge looks different from that above. Maybe you did some PP on the sky and missed this bit?

That bit annoys me too. Thought I'd missed a bit on the PP but no ... it's an unhappy coincidence. If I do anything else with this shot I'll burn in that little patch.

Nice shot Paul. Nice composition. Really moody. Says it all. No wonder they need UV therapy in winter.

Canal; I like canals. But if you had only the one boat at the front, the blue one, could it be framed so as to avoid the houses? I don't know what it would look like from the other side either.
The only time I went to photograph some canal boats was in Fradley Nr Lichfield; I got told quite sternly that I was not to take photographs since it was private property :eek:
There are other places but it put me off a bit. The boats are very colourful and photogenic.

Can't correct the perspective a little bit ?
Why is the bottom part lighter than the upper one ?

very beautiful image!:)
I like the perspective and the coupling of lights and shadows, expecially the light on the "docking ring" at bottom right
did you add some vignetting in PP?
how did you metered the light?
cheers

Was you walking with your friend; it is indeed a wonderful shot. I think the form is I am supposed to criticise, it looks like a scene from a film, the clouds could have a bit more medium detail, and the foreground more green highlighting yellow.

It is really good as it is actually, normally I just say these things to myself about my photo's. Thankyou Nicola.

Indeed, as Steve says it is a wonderful shot :)
The human figure is enhanced over he sky and there are two great levels of depth, the first in the foreground and the second one far away in the mountains.
Good work Nicola :)

Thanks Steve!!
your comments are so precious as always :):)
you let me focusing on the colour of grass that wasn't so natural as I remember it was in that day
I think I failed on WB
here below a new version with different WB
I 've taken in example the latter image for WB, but isn't so easy 'cause, as you can see in this image, the grass was turning to yellow as the altitude was incresing, and in the first one the sun was obscured by cloudsa
perhaps the best point to find WB is the skin tone.. but I 'm not so able to do this...:(
