Greetings from Critique Club:

Let me introduce myself. My name is Leroy Dickson, I'm a professional photographer, specializing in glamour, fashion and nude photography. But, I enjoy all forms of photography and appreciate the artistic efforts of all.

First Impression:
Nice composition. A good shot of a beautiful Cathedral.

Technicals:
I feel the image is a tad over-exposed, leaving the photo a bit flat. Seeing the shadows are coming straight down, Idefinitely think it could have been better shot at a different time of day.

Artistic:
Composition is ok. I will second my opinion on being a better shot in better light.

How to grow its vote:
It really doesn't have much Wow to it. It's a great tourist photo, but doesn't quite have the umph needed to get top votes here. Some may have also seen it as not fitting the challenge.

In closing:
Looking at the rest of your work, I'd definitely love to see a processed version of this image.

First Impression:
A stunning, well-executed image of the Sn Fran bay. It's a very nice image, worthy of a good stock photo portfolio.

Technicals:
Technically the image is good, from exposure to focus. I don't see any glaring errors.

Artistic:
Compositionally, the photo is kind of weak. Only the top horizon placed on the third line draws my eye. Moving the horizon down to the bottom third and including more sky may have been a stronger composition.

How to grow its vote:
Ehhh... as you may know, DPC is all about the "Wow Factor". Although this is a nice image, there's nothing to make the viewer say wow, look at that... or how'd they do that.

In closing:
I like the image. I personally think it should have placed higher, but I'm not the majority of the voters on the site. However, I encourage you to keep up the good work and I really enjoyed reviewing your image.

I like the photo, it's really well done. Execition is near perfect.

I will say, however, that I find the concept a bit trite and self-serving. It's just too stereotypical for me to go "oooh that is deep".

Still, I do like the photo, minus the race card.
