I have no idea what you did with the colors, but it looks great. Quite surreal. Great depth/ leading lines (wide angle perspective, I guess. The lens info is a typo ?)
Cheers

Those arches lead my eyes nicely into the scene, more and more, very nice framing composition. And superb detail and colors. Interesting how sharp the water surface is with 1 sec exposure.
Cheers

Well seen, intriguing to see how you manage to spot so many motifs.... Compositionwise, I?m not sure about the left side, whether there is enough interest to show or not. I tried a crop there, to show what I mean
Cheers

My first impression was not a quiet scene, more a busy, almost screaming diversity of details. And the resting point, the bench, lonely (who was there ? Whats the story ?). Love the dramatic perspective and crop, and the suspense. Very good street shot.
Cheers

Sergio, thank you for pointing out the light @ the end of the road. It was indeed this lighting what caused me to stop my biking and take a shot. With this FOV, it is quite small, but... kind of icing on the cake, IMO

A classic. Superb leading lines composition, however - I would vote for a sacrifice of some sky for a more panoramic and less centered sky/ land ratio. The sky @ the top does not contribute that much to hold interest there.

A rare lighting situation (at last here in my country). Really menacing atmosphere, the empty space is quite right for this feeling (all creature escaped...)

Kind of "dead horizon", compositionwise. But I can understand your decision, I would be hesitant myself with this wonderful cloudscape. The horizon is not a major issue, it does no harm because there is a vanishing point, from ground perspective and also from the clouds. Tack sharp, perfect tones.

Nice autumnal colors, and the light on the leaves makes kind of diagonal composition. Tight crop is effective, I like it very much !

Stunning photoart ! You have definitively your personal style, atmosphere reminds me of Gregory Crewdson?s work somehow (but WIDE perspective, I like that !). Masterly !

Very good lighting, nice portrait ! I like the composition a lot. Not sure about the skin color - on my actual monitor it has a decent green shade. Maybe its my monitor, will have a second look with my other PC. Anyway, very good !

I love the symmetry of this photo, and the restricted color palette of the building is nice against the colored writing. Very good architectural !

No, Jeanette, I stitched two landscape formats vertically, with some overlap for smooth transition, got a square format, which I like @ the moment. And its a method to work around thw wide dynamic range I have to do most of the time (two different exposures for the upper and lower part)

Hi Jeanette - thanks for revisiting ! Do you mean the stitch work, or the layers / color and B&W thing ? AFAIK you are quite familiar with PS ;-)

Kevin I had a look into your "wet moorland" - I try not to put in a different sky because I find it extremely difficult to match lighting and color temperature perfectly. If I make a composite, it is an original sky over the ground layer, worked up differently with levels etc. I use CaptureOne DRebel ed., that allows for saving a color palette and transfer it into another shot. So, I can work on exposure bracketed RAWs and use the same color setting to all layers, VERY useful feature of C1.

Stunning result of your "sky surgery" - no objection, but most often I see a mismatch of color temperature in sky and land in such composites. Sky and land dont fit perfectly together in this regard (not a major issue, but I would love to see the perfect illusion...)
Cheers
