This is one of you best that I've seen. It has a simple and aloof flair to it. A new favorite for me.

This is very cool. The DOF really makes this shot amazing and the duotone is perfect.

Hi Robert. This is going to be a tough one to critique because I really like it. Oh well, here it goes. I think your score got short-changed as this shot is very tight. All of the elements are the. Focus is perfect, colors are vibrant, yet not overwhelming. The lines are ideal and lead me throughout the image. I see perspective here ...... you tilted this building sideways......go figure. The only fault I can put my finger on is that the shot is very geometric, sterile and cold. You should have placed a damn kitten on one of the balconys. ;-) This is one of those images where I question why we waste our time asking for feedback from the general voters as they simply don't get it. Either way, I like it. Good luck.

Hi Angela. This shot definitely met the challenge criteria though I feel it is lacking in several areas. Firstly, though I understand what you are portraying, the subject is somehwat lack-lustre and boring. Had the image contained some element that would capture my interest, I'd likely overlook some of the technical weaknesses. The focus is okay but the DOF is a little distracting. Had you backed up a bit and increased the aperature setting, you may have remedied some of that. The colors might have been tweaked up a bit a to add a bit more zip to the image. Overall, the technical elements of the image are not that bad but I just really find the shot to be quite boring and as a resulty, your score indicated that. Keep clicking and submitting as it takes a bit of time to get into the groove. Please understand that this is just my opinion and if there are aspects of my review that you wish to discuss, please PM me. Thanks for your interest.

Hi Steve. Congrats on your excellent score of 6.0794. There are alot of enrants who strive for that much longer than it has taken you to acheive it. Primarily, I'd say a good part of your success was due to the Infared element of your shot. They are just soooo cool and very few photos on this site utilize this technique. I'd like to get a filter but I'm still paying off my latest lens. Anyhow, you've created a very good perspective of this roadway and the technical aspects of the shot are very tight. I suspect had you included a few more subject elements into the shot, it may have fetched a higher score. Other than that, If it ain't broke, you don't fix it. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing your future submissions.

Corkscrew

Hi Anthony. Woohooo......a 6 in your third challnge. Pretty impressive. I like the cool perspective you have of one of the most unsettling parts of a roller coaster, the corkscrew. Tough shot to get and also to get in focus considering the fact your or riding your subject. As you have been told, the shot is a bit blown out and that is an issue which could have been mitigated with either contrast, brightness, shadows/highlights and or curves. I guess you'll be mindful of that it next time though overall, I really like this shot. Its.........interesting. Good luck in future challenges!
