I decided to take this shot because I felt if you're going to improve on a shot, it might as well be your best on this site. I tried to avoid the glaring lights and made sure a pole wasn't coming out of my head! Hopefully THIS will end up being my best shot, but somehow, I doubt it.

Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: Very nice technical work with this image. The ghosting is more effective here with a better play into the image. This feels better than the standing position in the original.

Lighting: The lighting is also better in this image. The side of the building was a bit blown in the original. Not so here. I also like the individual lights that you captured.

Composition/Content: This is where I really like the original. Sure, you took the pole out of your head, but the track played an integral part of the last image. It served well to pull the viewer deep into the image.

My Opinion: I like it, but I still prefer the original. This is a better shot from a technical standpoint, but the composition of the original is better. That is where the voters noticed, I believe.

It's FAR better than the original. Shows how tough the DPC crowds are getting! Good work :)
