This is one of my picks for blue. I really liked the concentric circles and the two tone image. Very striking.

Natures Distorted "Woodwork"

Looks to go out of focus in the top right corner. This sort of abstract needs to be technically faultless to work. Shame.

Ever so slightly over exposed, maybe just half or one stop.

Greetings from the Critique Club.

Right off the top I really like this image, it has a story to tell, but then I like street photography. The image has a good composition, but there are a couple of things which you could have done slightly differently to make it even better.

Those two black shadows coming in from the right really break the image in half. Clone them out if you can't shoot them out. Yeah I know about major element removal ;-)

I think a small crop on the right of the image to get rid of the bit after the last pillar would also help clean up the right hand side.

Going to the guitarist, You have him placed really well. Bang on the 1/3rd line, just where he should be. However the light diagonal tiles just coming from his head draw the eye away from him. Tone them down using photoshop.

I really like the diagonals and the exposure seams to be spot on. Maybe just a little more mid range contrast could make this pop. Add a curves adjustment and make a 'S' curve adjustmet. I'm not sure about the added noise, but I have nothing to compare it to.

Probably deserves a little more than the 5.5 in my opinion

Lacking contrast, needs the tree to stand out not meld into the background

Nice repetition, nice coposition, just a shame you couldn't make it into a reasonable photo with a little post processing.

Really needs a splash of red or yellow in there - throw in a childs ball next time, it would really lift the image.
