School on the Urban Frontier

This is good. I like that you made the academic (?) building in the foreground your subject against the backdrop of the city. It's slightly OOF and the sky is ever-so-slightly noisy, but it's well composed and interesting.

Because you have no comments... I gave this a six. It's not a true landscape, but neither were a lot of shots in this challenge. It's urban enough though. I like dramatic angles, and I've had in mind to shoot something like this for a while (a street sign/light pole shot from this angle). It needs a little something else -- maybe better lighting (nearer to dawn or dusk) or something interesting in the signage. Still, a good study in urban scenery.

The concept alone is brilliant. Excellent execution as well. Don't you wish they all went this well?

Classic case of the challenge title and challenge description being ever so slightly in disagreement; one says "object" the other says "subject". "Object" implies something very singular and discrete, and the challenge title is always the most visible. I agree with you though -- your "subject" is the group on the beach.

The unnatrual blue color here really gives the photo its impact. It's beautifully ominous, if that's possible, and I think that's what draws the viewer into it. Closer investigation reveals something far more foreboding and less pretty. So an expert job carrying your message from composition through to post-processing.

Excellent contrast. Fisheye was used to good effect. I love the tangled web of street lines and light. An eight for you.
