Marble Pillars

What do you guys think of this one? I can see it as a bookmark

Well, I think you have it framed well enough, but my nitpick is the color looks a little flat, and I believe this would work better as a b & w. JMHO.

I agree it looks a little flat. I would try a contrast/saturation boost.

Better? I agree with it being a bit flat.

The second one is much better, it seems a bit hazy or soft from my screen.

The edit is better. It's now washed out as much.

Very good framing, and the second version is stronger with it's deeper contrast.

The adjustments in the second do improve the photo. I am not as sure of the composition, specifically how the right hand portion of the photo interacts with the frame at both the edge and the top. It isn't 'regular' or straight and lessens the impact of the columns.

There several ways this could be shot to emphasize the light play across the floor, and one is to only include the left columns or the archways and let the shadows do the rest.

Your eye caught a good location, I think you could exploit this at different times of day, lighting variations, and produce an interesting series or a study.

Best wishes and hope to see more soon
