there is nothing wrong with the pic, it looks great. Simple clean image. But it does not astonish me or make me look twice

Nice lighting from behind, gave your lens too much trouble though, causing some spots. "Simple and clean" like Omnia says, but just not strong enough.

Simple, graphic pattern. Nice colors. Sun dog or blurry object on lower right is distracting. Not much here to keep my attention. Voted as "deleteme4" (from Delete me! group)

The medium pic is ok to see, it is really great contrast, but as others are already telling you, once you look at the full size wich most of us really do, then the spots are distracting.

Doesn't fill enough of the frame for me and there is something funky at the bottom right (see dark corner and lense flare)

To empty, to vague and to much lense flare, to bad, although it is a nice pic!

You got some interesting mix of positive and not-so-positive comments to this beautifully simple photo. It goes to show everyone is different.

I just wanted to say 'Thank You' for making this available under Creative Commons; I just used it on the Welcome page of one of my web sites and blog, "Pass It Forward" (pifaustralia.org).

Keep up the good work!
