This really looks like an illustration. I think the red side looks good. The yellow side though maybe should've been 2 tone a little more or something to make the windows stand out more. - Inspzil

All the Shapes

Very cool arraw of shapes. Doesn't look like the nicest day out. Good job cropping most of that out though. Sometimes no sky is better than white sky - Inspzil

Composition - Touching tribute emorgan. General composition is ok. I'm not sure how fitting this is for the challenge, but I think it mostly fits. I'd like to see this picture from a few more feet back. I think that the tree shouldn't go to the end of the frame on the right. I like the sky color of this shot. I understand the tribute, but I don't think the general composition of this photo is very appealing to most people. There really isn't anything to WOW anyone. I don't mean any offense by this, it is just not something that I want to see. It's very sad, I know.

Photography - The picture is slightly out of focus. This was probably the biggest reason for the low score. The DOF looks good and the exposure was good, which isn't that easy to do when the sun is in that position. It could've used a little more dramatic lighting somehow. That is a difficult thing to do outside unless you have all day to spend waiting for just the right moment

Processing - You may have been able to sharpen this further with PS. Colors all look pretty true but it wouldn't hurt to boost the saturation a little.

Overall - This picture is unfortunately not terribly interesting to most viewers. It is a very real, sad, and emotional tribute to those people who were involved with this individual. It was not badly taken but could've been clearer. I wish I had something better to tell you emorgan, but this is what I'm seeing. Good luck in future challenges - Inspzil

Great color. I like the angle and the top of the fence showing as well. - Inspzil

Great capture (assuming this is real and not a PS trick). Very interesting subject. I think you could've done something a little more creative with the crop though, depending on the quality of the building - Inspzil

Composition - I don't remember seeing this pic so I can't tell you what I originally scored it. The subject of this picture is pretty interesting. This is what I think some of the shortcomings are. First - The crop is awful tight. Seeing the whole circle would be better. It also seems to be cropped from the left side a little less than the right side. A picture framed like this one is should be perfectly centered. Second - I'm not sure what makes part of the writing and drawing white but I don't like it. From wear on the sign or flash, either way I don't think it helps the image. I would've shown more of the sky here. The sky that we can see in the corners is a beautiful deep blue. Maybe there was something behind it, in which case you did the right thing.

Photography - The picture is very clear. The angle is good. I like a looking up perspective shot as much as anyone. If you used the flash for this one, it would explain the white areas in the words and on the figures. If not, then disregard that last part.

Processing - Nothing real obvious is showing, so I'll say nothing

Overall - The subject is pretty good. It doesn't have any real outstanding features to it. I don't really care for the crop, but there might be some extenuating circumstances which warrant this decision. If I did vote for this photo, I can't say I'd give it a great score. It is a well taken photo, but taking a photo well can only carry you so far with a mediocre subject. Looking at your other comments, I'm not telling you anything they didn't (I never look at them until I'm done). Good luck in future challenge and keep shooting BAMartin. - Inspzil

Nice job with the puzzle thing. Its one way to spice up a relatively uneventful pic. There are some really nice colors there, just not much of note besides that. Great creativity!! - Inspzil

Great idea. If the windows were a little less transparent, I would've definitely scored this one higher. Good shot still - Inspzil

INteresting perspectives pic. I'm not sure I like it, but it is pretty well done regardless - Inspzil
