    Love the framing, lines, and faint detail in the shadows. Cool shot!

    The windows add another element to the traditional sillhouette, adds some depth. (As do the zones between the mid-distance water and land, to the distant mountains, then the gradient of the sky. No matter where I start looking at this, my eye is led upward in the image back to the Ferris wheel and building below)

    This is a loverly shot arne, the colours and elements are striking, there is almost a ying and yang feel about it.

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    Re: Ferris Wheel At Sunset

    Hmm. I like the concept, but I wonder if the objects are strong enough. It could use a bit more area at the bottom, maybe the land right there on the shore. I suspect you clipped that off for a reason. The Ferris wheel is OK but I think I would like it better if it only showed about 3 or 4 boxes vs. all those. I love the colors of the sky near the mountain and the abstractness of the mountain shape, but there is too much uninteresting sky at the top of the image. Not sure how to fix that, as cropping may not be the answer.

    A good try! Just not sure the subjects are cooperating.

    I think it's really nice. You might could use just a touch more at the bottom. I like the fact it has a little detail in the shadows.

    Re: Ferris Wheel At Sunset

    And what's about the silhouette idea? How about making dak all the foreground with the wheel? Leaving the colors of the back and lines in front?

    I really like it. Great color, and we can see enough of the buildings and wheel to know what they are but not so much it makes it boring. Shadow detail helps with this too. Nice!

    Love the framing, great use of the rule of thirds.
