Here are a couple of photos I took last summer:

Tell me what you think.

Convert 'em into 256 and use 'em in a game I say!

I'm no Expert at photography, so I can't really comment on if somethings wrong...
Although I can't really see how high up you are when taking the second pic.
It seems close, but then it doesn't... and now it does. But it doesn't. You know what I'm saying?

Honestly, I have no idea what you're saying. And I wont use them in a game.

Vel, i think they look good. Almost like postcards.

Where were they taken?

Nice lens flares.

I like that first photo...ALOT.

I like the third photo the most! If only I had a postcard like that! I really like how the tree branch on the side of it, curves. The position is well taken, and the old architecture of the building is also bautifull. Where are these taken?

They're nice, but they still look digital. A few touch ups and they would look great.

They're so good it's like there's more than just a couple.

Thanks guys!
The photos were all taken in Varna, a city on the Black Sea coast.
Edit:
here's one more for you to enjoy:

Looks good. Still needs a bit of photoshop help. I cant seem to get my mask settings to work so I'll just explain it.

First of, center the window. The extra length drags your eyes to that side.

Secondly, add a bit of a blue haze over the left dome. Fade it something like a gradient, but dont go over board. Just enough to bring the highlights on the dome out.

Lastly that browish blotch on the bottom of that ledge could be faded. Not necessarily to the same color as the others, but less dark.

That should help it quite a bit. Wow, feels just liek the critics lounge...

Why is the first one so... green? It looks like St. Patrick's day!

But I really do like the pictures. You have some very nice composistion.

Evil: thats waaay too much work for me lazy ass. Besides, I'm making a game and an ezine these days.
Dragonrose: Because there were many green lights and lamps.

The second one in the first post looks like the jungle in Monkey Island 2 on Dinky Island.
