Cool shot. Would have more impact with a greater contrast between the lights, fog and cranes I think. Nontheless, nice capture of a stark, industrial scene.

Well hopefully it scores as well as the shot you copied that did quite well just a few challenges ago. Good luck.

Holy shit, first thing I said to myself before I saw the title was 'is that Vonnegut??'. Nice catch if that's really him. If it's not, you've found his doplleganger.

A 1 and a 2? The vote scrubber is worthless. Grats on this superb shot!

Nothing screams digital like banding in the sky. Back off on the saturation and you should be in good shape.

Some people are just stupid. Blow it off. You could bracket for your exposures and she wouldn't have to stand still as a stone for minutes on end. Morons.

This shot should have placed much higher. I had to wade through page after page of ghoulish, cartoon-like, crap that appear to have been created by schizophrenic 3 year olds on acid just to see how this shot fared.

What a crying shame.

The tones on the columns are quite nice as is the perspective of the columns fading off into the distance. What punches this photo in the eye is the oversharpening. It is particularly noticeable around the bird. Overall a nice shot. Good luck.

Beautiful bw processing on this shot. Great lighting, lovely tones. I normally find kid shots to be trite but this is really nice. Good expression on her face.

This is the sort of subject matter that can yield really good stuff. I imagine there was something preventing you from getting up close, but this shot would have really taken off if the expressions on the faces of the guys getting home were up close and personal. Bigger telephoto, waiting for them to come closer. Good luck.

Nice detail, if not the pleasantest to look at. The black thing on the bottom sort of sinks the composition in my mind. Good luck.
