Comment:
Challenge
- Relevant to the Challenge? Yes
- Is subject unique (vs. unoriginal or rehashed)? Yes

Compostion
- Good or Bad? How can it be fixed? Good It shows the dark side of citylife. Things that people don't want to think about.
- Good use of Depth of Field? I think a shallower DOF would work to make the buiding at the far end of the alley less sharp.

Lighting
- Good use of light? Yes
- Are there any over-blown highlights? Yes
- Good use of shadows? Yes. The add to the dark nature of the image.
- Are there any overly dark shadows? No

Aesthetics/Artistic Appeal:
- What is my reaction or feelings? I like the image because of the unique viewpoint. It's a part of citylife that most people avoid. It's dirty. It's scary. It's the city.

Compostion
- Good or Bad? How can it be fixed? Good, however the line of cars parked on the left is a bit distracting since they are not straight. I'm curios where you were that you could get a shot from 30 feet above street level. If it were a 'bridge' I'd think the opposite side of the strret would work bettter.
- Is there anything missing? More liveliness. It has a very lonely feel to it with the blurred cars speeding away. Maybe that's what you were going for.
- Good use of Depth of Field? Yes

Compostion
- Good or Bad? How can it be fixed? I might take a bit off the left side, just before you hit the P in Police. Nothing there that adds to the image.
- Is there anything missing? My eye wants to see more of the sign on the right side.
- Good use of Depth of Field? Yes

Lighting
- Good use of light? Yes
- Are there any over-blown highlights? No
- Good use of shadows? Yes
- Are there any overly dark shadows? No

Aesthetics/Artistic Appeal:
- What is my reaction or feelings? Although there are no people (read as life) the image give a sense of expectation. There will be activity later. It's safe for your wives, daughters, and sisters now, but it'll be dark soon...

Aesthetics/Artistic Appeal:
- What is my reaction or feelings? Can I get an Advil? I feel like I'm there, and could ask for the most obscure thing and that Gus would have it. I like this one better than the closeup of Gus (that I assume was dome by pawdrix).

Where's the city? I like the use of the cemetary, but this could be anywhere.
