What a nice composition. I wish you crouched to capture more of the sky above the arch, though. I like the contrast between warm colors of the vases and the blue sky very much.
Wow, this is a really fine picture. It should be gracing the cover of a travel magazine. And since the colors and contrasts are its key elements, this might be an instance where color saturation could be increased to good effect.
The colour contrast is really what makes this picture work. Also looking at your other pictures, you really have an eye for composition and I envy you for that. If I may make a comment, I find that the arch is the real subject of the picture, the pots' colours are too weak in comparison. If you crop the picture from the bottom, to around the middle of the pots, the arch becomes more prominent, and the image gains even more impact. Cheers,

It's all been said, and your score is good.. I just wanted to tell you, late though I am, that I saved this on my hard drive just for the clarity and the beauty of the colors..great composition too!! :)
