Hello Egill, I�m Alan.

As a member for just short of a year, you should know by now a 6+ score in this crowd is a damn good score. Your exposing of the sunset seemed to work out well, but your white balance seems a bit off as the window frames seem a bit grey (a quick fix might be in the ability to open JPEG images in Camera RAW using Bridge in Photoshop, PM me on how) I like the isolation of the church but wonder if the negative space on the right might be cropped out a bit. Possibility adding a second subject (person) on the right might have added interest.
The above is only advice if your looking for a improved score on DPC, personally I like it the way it is. Good photo, good score, I hope you enjoyed capturing, as much as I, the view..

Cycling Helmet

Hello Joshua, I�m Alan.

First on your subject, spot on focus, and I like the B&W treatment. Looking at your bicyclist I feel the exhaustion. Truth be told when you reach the upper 5�s with this tough crowd, �your almost there� in the photography world. �Almost� being the key word, your �almost� was in the rest of the story, the why. If the water was just on the face (sweat) I could buy into the background, but in this the helmet and glasses are also wet and I wonder why, the sterile background gives no indication, you have a great subject, but no story.
With the Olympics currently running, and with your great subject, filling in the rest of the story would have pushed you into the 6.5+ range, if not on the front page.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Hello Ankur, I�m Alan.

Usually, I look at the photo first, then go to photographers comments and never look at other comments. Had you not mentioned the boy, I would have not considered it, important, now my eye is drawn.
As for the portrait, Outstanding, yea-yea the background could have been improved, but realistically we have what we have. I think if you would have blurred the background further, I doubt you would have passed a review by the SC. Keep doing this type of work, no doubt I will see you soon on the home page.
