Hello there, AquaMarine! (:

I think these are really good! :D I think I like Königssee lake and resting boat best. I think it's because I love the colors in them.... The rest are awesome too! I just like those best ^_^ Ummm...I would tell you something you could improve in them but I'm not exactly that great of a photographer so I can't really help.... My apologies! I just wanted to say they're really good. I wish I could take pictures like these. (:

Keep taking great pictures!

First off these pictures are great! The first one is fantastic with its colour and scope and everything, the second, though still great, could have been done at a different angle just to see what would be better and also it is hard to see what building that is. The one with the Gummy bear is funny but a little confusing as to why you put it there. Other than that the pictures are great and hope to see more of the in the future.

I absolutely love the gummy bear picture the absolute best! Not just because its a tasty gummy bear =) the color and contrast between the foreground and background is amazing. The gummy bear may seem confusing to some, but it just sort of brings the piece together with one simple tie. Sometimes simplicity works better than a whole party, if you understand what I'm trying to get at and say.

Hey Aqua! Ciao! Hola!Bonjour! Em.... Ni-hao! *fails to think of the German word* Here to review.

First I'll go through each individual picture, shall I? Well, no one asked you, so I think I shall. ^__^

1: Very nice. The angle is just so that I get the height aspect, the depth, and also the contrast from the stairs to the left and from the bright colors. Great work!

2: Meh. It feels too crowded for me. There's only that tiny bit of sky that gives me something to hold on to, so to speak. If there was more of...something else...my eyes wouldn't be so tempted to stray from what awesomeness you might have captured with this building. In other words, I wouldn't have to look for a break in the "monotony," which would enable me to fully grasp the photo.

God. Aren't I a snob? D:

3: You slimy little rat.

That is all I will say on the matter.

4: D'awwww! He's so tiny! This is actually my favorite one of the bunch. It's completely unique and gives me a sense of personification, as if the gummy bear is actually contemplating the surroundings. Also, the focus on just the bear whereas the rest of the photo is pretty much blurred works well. :D

5: Surprisingly, the boat is my least favorite part of this. At first, I really liked how it fit in with the rest of the photo, but as I kept looking at it, I noticed all of its little flaws, and it suddenly didn't work for me. I would have loved to see just the water, maybe a close-up of the wooden posts, and a bit of the trees in the background. But then again, I'm a loser, so who cares what I think? xDD

Overall: These are awesome. They compliment each other very well in an odd way. Especially the gummy one. God, it's just EPIC! :D

Keep up the good work, anyways. ^_^ That second review is coming soon.

Wow, these are all really good! I love the angles and your style, you are very good! Ok... here goes my shabby review. ;)

1. I don't really like this, it's not something that makes me go 'wow', but something that greatly dissappoints me. This one could have looked much better if you took a picture of more than just the chairs, and showing a little bit of track makes it look sloppy and squished... forgive me if you think i'm wrong. :D

2. Beautiful! You've really captured the beauty of this building, but i feel the picture didn't get enough in. The angle is great though, well done. :)

3. My ultimate favourite! I love the reflection in the water and the two mountains at either side of the lake, this is truly beautiful. :D

4. This is cute. :) I don't dislike it, i like it very much. Nice angle, and the way you've focused on the little gummy bear is just brilliant. It's also the fact that it's a gloomy day and there's just something bright orange right where it shouldn't be, putting a smile on everyone's faces. good job.

5. Neutral... this isn't my favourite, however, i like the image you have captured. The boat on the water by the forests. :) beautiful.


you have potential! These are great!

Guten Tag, Aqua!

I really liked the angle and the colours of (1), and I think (4) was very creative. (5) to me looked like a nice holiday picture, but nothing too interesting was there (the second boat in the background ruined a bit, too.) I thought (3) was kind of like (5) in that it was like a holiday snap; however it's redeemed by the duck(?) swimming in the middle of it. And the awesomeness of the view. But still, it's not particularly inventive. (3) was the worst for me, but then I find pictures of buildings to often be a bit boring.

Thanks for sharing, looks like you had a great time!

Thanks, guys! I love that people like the gummy bear. ^.^

That is a duck on the third picture. It shows up much clearer on my computer, hence why I thought it was a worthwhile picture. Not so obvious here though.

Yo Amy!

It's been a while since I looked into A&P. I shall just give a few points on the ones I didn't like.

Palace: Well, you did try for a good angle, but it didn't do justice to the building. It makes a viewer go like 'Uh.. okay.' It doesn't exhibit the awesomeness, though it looks like you tried. With buildings, angles have to be judged very carefully.
Boat: As Jack said, it's more of a holiday pic.
Lake: It would've been better if you didn't try to capture the entire area in a snap. This way, it's more like a holiday snap.

Good work, though. Especially the gummy bear!
I must put up a few photos I have.

Replaced the boat picture with a different one (titled Lake 2 because I'm original.)

You...you genius! That is exactly what I was talking about! Lake 2, I mean. :P The angle is awesome, the color contrast is perfecto, and just...great job. ^____^ *gives Amy a big German cookie for her smarticles*

Let me know if you add more photos to this, okay? I would love to see them! :D

Hi there Aqua!
I just stopped by this page and gosh, I have to say these photographs are beautiful.
My favorite one was Königssee lake because it has so many different natural looking colors and they all blend in together creating such a wonderful scenery. Lake 2 is also my favorite, I guess I just like water...
I can't exactly point out anything bad because I'm not photographer. Although I did think you should have captured more of the building in your second picture. Like give us more detail instead of just the upper half. You could still keep the angle...I think. Anyways, wonderful job!

Lol, nobody else noticed that the gummy bear isn't looking over Munich...it's staring back at Amy's camera, with a suspicious look in his gummy eyes, "Are you going to push me over the edge or what?
Anyways, the first was my favorite. Being the first and being so vivid, it caught my eye almost instantly. Put that up in a billboard or a poster and it'll catch everyone's eye.
I like the angle of the palace, but that great blueness just seems fake to me. Maybe it's because there is such clarity and a clear line between palace and sky...and the fact that there isn't a cloud to be seen.
The rest were good, I didn't see the duck, and the lake one confounds me, what were the posts for? Tying up boats? If so, then the fishermen get back to land by hopping from post to post? :D
