Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club and congratulations on this top ten image!

First Impression: A well exposed sky and you did a decent job of exposing the rest of the shot though its still a little dark at the edges for me.

Composition: Considering the planter being in the way I think you did a great job of composing this shot but it looks as if it could do with being rotated half a degree to the left.

Subject: Fits the challenge well though it doesn't 'WOW' me (I gave it a 6 btw). Now, if there was a low flying aeroplane dead centre this would have ribboned :)

Technical: My only thought on the technical quality of this shot is maybe some light shadow/highlight or equivalent during post processing to get a little more details at the edges but, after saying that maybe it works better as it is.

Final thoughts: A great shot for the challenge. Maybe you could have squeezed most of this into a square crop? I love the shutters at various staged of being opened/closed.

I like it off-centered as it is. :o)

Not quite centered but still nice.

great idea, but you're not quite centered under the square.

I really like the perspective, lighting, and that you were fortunate enough to have an interesting sky.
