Crap... how am I supposed to win any challenges when I keep giving out 10s -- oh sure... they're deserved, but that's not my point... I want to WIN! OK, enough whining... This is the 3rd or 4th 10 I've passed out, and this is so far, the best of them. Your image is great -- I love the colors cast by the varous lights and a nice use of the star filter. Overall lighting is spot on. Well done -- but next time, take it easy. I want to win sometime, OK?

I think I've seen these buildings in other photos and in at least one movie. Photo attempts to be symmetric, but fails -- needs to be cropped a little more on the right to make the edge the same as on the left -- also in looking closer, the whole thing tilts to the right.

GREAT PHOTO, but it seems to have totally missed the challenge. OK, you can say it has multiple buildings, which is what the challenge called for, but I get no sense of Urban here. Surely there was at least a nearby village with a few people wandering the streets.

Meets all criteria and I can't see anything technically wrong. I like the deep blue sky and white/gray clouds contrasting with the near black buildings. Overall though, I don't find the image visually appealing -- totally a personal opinion, but what part of this comment wasn't?

Depending on your town, this could be right in the center of it -- it was in my hometown. Sepia does nothing for this photo -- I would have loved to see it with the blue sky and wispy clouds. It could use a perspective adjustment too. (Is that legal in DPC?)

I rarely say this one: It looks over sharpened. Strange angles in the drain pipe and window just in front of it on the second story is where it is most noticable. It could use a pass through neat image to clean up the noise in the sky, but otherwise, great photo.

Where are the buildings? Where is the sense of "Urban?" Photo is too small. Sky blown out -- or is that just fog? Good detail in what I can see. Road/path along bottom is a bit distracting.

Had to resort to toys? The one off of challenge was just because it wasn\'t real. Technical -- fire dept. car is splotchy and a bit of soft focus all around. Perhaps this was to fool the viewer into thinking this was real?

Nice balance between shadow and light. The bicycle really helps set the tone of this image. Perfect execution. This is a case where I wish it were in color -- I know, you have to make a choice and some are going to commend you for the B/W shot -- in this case, I'm not one of them.
