Pretty cool capture since I can't imagine what it really is. A fountain show? A boat on some show like a Sea World thing? Neat though. A real mystery. 7

Holy cow, it looks like you did get mauled by the "I think he cheated, but I'm too scared to ask for validation, I'll just give it a 1" crowd.

I'm not quite sure why you have an even bottom but an uneven top. Was the prop frame not square? Sometimes not being square to the facade will do that, but it should be both top and bottom unless you rotated to make the text horizontal and cropped the bottom. (ya, I think that's what you did).

The age-old advice to shoot at a different time of day may have helped a tiny bit as well. We got the minorly distracting glare on the window and the lighting on the background looks a bit harsh.

I think it was a nice, creative shot. It's hard to recover from 16 ones...

I gave this a 5. Perhaps it has too much negative space at the top. I do like the idea and it does look like the northern lights. In the end I think perhaps there wasn't quite enough to it to hold our attention.

Keep it up though.

wonderfully composed and captured. I rarely give 9s or 10s the first time through, but this gets one. 9 Bumped to 10, best in challenge for me.

Don't let the DNMC boo-birds get you down. Excellent take on hyperreality. You did nicely in that there isn't too much supersaturation. I do think, meh, is this really fire? but DPC has become WAAAAYY to narrow in their interpretations of challenges. So a big fat 8 from me. I'm sure it's gonna bump you from a 4.5 to a 4.55.... ;(

The brain's ability to create faces where none exist is pretty amazing isn't it? 7

I can't quite tell what the artifacting is... The timing is great on the shot though. 5

Get Langdon to fix your spelling (just send an administrative note). Like the reference to LoTR...
