    (not so) touristy pics

    I was looking back through my pics from my year abroad and found some that I thought sort of worked as actual photographs, as opposed to snapshots...Boy I wish I would have had my D70 then...

    Number 2 really grabbed me. I like it a lot. That lil' tiny boat really helps to give a sence of scale.

    BTW your avatar is very distracting when it is next to an image, funny, but very distracting.

    I keep debating in my head if #4 would have looked better if the Dome of the Rock would have looked better centered in the archway or not. Either way, nice shots all around.

    EDIT: Meant to say #4, not #3.

    Good Stuff!!!
    I LOVE the color in two and four.
    Both are composed well, but I think that the composition in four is the best.
    I like how you framed the gold dome in the arches, which creates some tension and repetition in the arches and columns.
    The color of the dome also contrasts very well against the blue sky.
    Thanks for sharring these with us. Next, take me!

    #2 is just outstanding. Just super!

    I know it's no good with reshooting comments, but I think #3 would have had a lot more punch if you backed up and shot the image w/ telephoto to scale up the castle more. Give that a try to see if it works next time you are there...

    Cheers,
    Tim
