    1) doesn't do much for me. Personal taste I guess.

    2) Love it. Great colour and feeling in the photo.

    3) Great composition and detail. Just a shame that there is a haze over Vesuvius.

    Some really nice images.

    Thank you. Damn Vesuvius was always hazy, I think it was the distance. I really like the second one as well so thanks.

    1) shot with a lens up, it creates angled perspective which is just plain unnatural, that's why ppl wont' like it. just doesn't look right.

    2) composition and balance are good, but angled lines destroy the picture - mountain is "settled" whereas window is "moving" it upsets the balance and ppl won't like it again.

    3) this is perfect candidate for HDR processing - process the sky making it less hazy and more dramatic, and process the mountain to make it a bit lighter with more detail.

    Thank you. On the second one, what do you mean by the window moving and mountain settled? Interested in that. I know what you mean in relation to the first, it isnt quite right,just didnt really know what was wrong with it.

    I love #2, smashing muted colour palette.

    I don't know if you were using a circular polariser, but, if not it may have given the colours in #1 (and #2 if you wanted to, although as I said, I love the subtle tones) a bit more 'punch'.

    #3 has lovely warm light, but doesn't really work for me. The empty top corner, the cliff, the buildings on top, no real foreground, it strikes me as a bit too much going on, but no real focal point to draw the eye. The beach hut type cabins at the base of the cliff really pop in that light and might make an interesting subject on their own.

    My usual C&C disclaimer: dunno much but I know what I like!

    it's just a way people refer to the objects on the photo - if you feel the object is not moving - it is settled. If you feel the object is moving - then it's not settled :-) ta-da :) perfecly horisontal or symmetrical objects normally settled. Object with an angle to photo's horison are moving.

    Second photo - you have symmetrical mountain - it looks settled.

    Building however is interesting - it's your main point of the shot (color difference, position and focus), and because it's angled the wall corner is angled and the window is angled at opposite direction, you can feel that the object is moving somewhere. however I didn't like those two angles being opposite... looks like building is falling to the left, which should not be happenning in the normal world :)
