Nice shot George. Is that a small village below you?

Xmsmn Loc: Minnesota

Oh this almost hurts. This is where we were supposed to be 4 months from now.
Nice image, thanks for sharing.

Yes, it is one of the 5 villages. I think it is Vernazza.

GeorgeK Loc: NNJ

Hope you get a chance to go. One caveat is that the villages were quite crowded in September. There were a number of large groups of tourists.

Xmsmn Loc: Minnesota

Yes, we’ve heard about the crowds, and have developed an itinerary that slots us between cruise ship crowds. Thanks for the caveat

repleo Loc: Boston

I'm pretty sure it is Corniglia.
Nice shot.

It is Corniglia...
It is one of the world's greatest walks, no doubt.

GeorgeK Loc: NNJ

Thanks for the correction. Yes, the hike was truly stunning.

Very nice. Cinque Terre is a photographer's delight.

We were there in August the same year and also hiked. We stayed in Vernazza. Your photo shows Monterrosso, in the background, and Corniglia in foreground. Vernazza is the town between the two but not in view.
This is a beautiful place with great culture and food.

Many excellent photos are posted by UHH members, but this is not one of them.

Cinque Terre is a beautiful area -- five very picturesque towns situated at the base of mountains along the sea and linked by a hiking trail above them. Since you were hiking, I expected a series of photos with interesting perspectives. Instead you submitted a seascape that one could see in thousands of places throughout the world and which hardly reflects the unique characteristics of Cinque Terre. The photo is also not particularly interesting from a light or composition standpoint -- a third of the image is out-of-focus, uninteresting foliage, and there is nothing exceptional about the sky or the sea.

You received a few of the usual "nice capture" responses, but how many people do you think clicked on the link and then immediately clicked off in disappointment? I don't want to be mean, and I understand the idea, "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all". I also understand that there is a wide range of talent and experience among the members, and I don't want to discourage anyone from contributing, but I think some blunt, honest critique is warranted.

You are not the first one to have difficulty with the basic question, "will viewers find this interesting?."

I have no problem with “blunt, honest criticism” but perhaps lighten up on the attitude.
