Eighteen Eighy Kennedyby banmornComment: This view doesn't do much for me and seems compositionally badly thought out. My eye has no clear point of focus. The foreground car has been chopped in two by a pillar. The reflections are very offputting. |

the Prowlerby spydrComment: Interesting shot, nice use of colour to set the atmosphere. Terrible noise levels (blue channels are usually the noisiest), did you try NeatImage? Another alternative would have been to desaturate just the red or green channel, and then turn the whole photo blue. You'd have lost the reds though. The background is compositionally too cluttered otherwise this would have been a really high-impact shot. |

Eye the Past as Time Rolls Onby dagaleaaComment: Not sure what you were trying to achieve here. The brief asked for an interesting window view, and my eye is not drawn to anything of interest. The reflections contain a lot of burnt out highlights. The motion blur is small enough to look accidental. My eye demands a point of focus here! |

Happy Wheelby BobsterLobsterComment: A flat circular object that is rolling along. You can see the motion trail of this movement. Okay, it may not be the best photo in the world, but HOW IS THIS NOT A WHEEL??? |

Leeds Royal Armouriesby BobsterLobsterComment: Thanks everyone! For those of you who want more information about this shot, the Royal Armouries Website tells me that this is 'The Hall of Steel, a giant staircase whose walls are decorated with trophy displays composed of 2,500 objects reminiscent of the historical trophy displays erected by the Tower Armouries from the 17th century'.
The Royal Armouries in Leeds has been around for about 10 years, and took a lot of the displays from the Tower of London. Lucky for Leeds, unlucky for London. The architecture of the building is wonderful, and admission is free. Picture taking is allowed, and no signs or people prohibited using tripods when I was there. I thoroughly recommend it to photographers. There's a great display of oriental arms and armour at the moment. |

Underground Curvesby alternaruleComment: Critique Club:
I like the motion blur in this shot, but feel that the composition hasn't been fully thought through. Rule of thirds is usually the photographer's best ally and should only be broken when you feel you have a good reason to. Here, I would have placed the exit/ entrance which is the focal point on the lower-right thirds junction. I wonder how many pictures you took here... I would have set myself up here with a tripod and waited for an interesting assortment of people to turn up. The people here seem a bit mundane and don't really grab my attention. A tripod would have helped you with some much needed sharpness and clarity. I do really like the curves and lines in the shot. Did you set the white balance or was it automatic? The colour balance seems off to me. Also, was this set on a high ISO? The noise levels are really bad. NeatImage could help this a little, but that is seriously bad noise, especially in the ceiling.
To sum up: an interesting environment chosen with some great shapes, but let down by haphazard composition, colour balance and noise levels. |

Too Young to Belongby LtHousLadyComment: Originally posted by lockjawdavis: Overwrought for me. What is photographically interesting here other than the sentiment? |
Interesting... I thought this comment really should be the most useful for you. |

Spokes in Motionby flip89Comment: Nice shot, imaginative composition. I'd have liked to see more clarity in the lights. |
