I like it. I think it may have been even more effective if it were a little sharper and the light a little lower to give more contrast between the threads.

I like the lines and diagonals but I really do not like this color.. I would have liked to see it in BW or sepia, maybe...

The background is nice and crisp. The foreground is distracting because it is out of focus. Love the gray scale tone.

Okay, it's a magic trick. Challenge met.

The magnifying glass in this case doesn't add anything for me. I initially thought it would show me something like how the cards are marked, but instead it seems like it was just added to add it or to explore how such lenses behave in photos. 5.

This has the potential for being an interesting abstract but it looks a bit soft and is lacking in contrast. This gives it a kind of hazy appearance becuase there is no true black in the image.

Nice pic. The title really makes it work.

The red is a nice touch. It turns a boring image into something more threatening - you pull in 2001 in your title, but there's something far more 1984 here. Good work!

Greetings from the Critique Club.

Hi Paul,

I like the perspective you have used here - just looking at it I\'m inclinded to tilt my head up to see all the way up. The \'golden hour\' warm evening light really comes across beautifully. The various line (both on the corner and on the roof) really draw the eye in too. There isn\'t much to keep the eye there once it has been drawn in, but still the idea is there.

So there is a lot to be enjoyed for the viewer who cares to linger. Sadly there is not much there for the 2-second voter - a centred subject of brick and sky. It lacks the pop to grab attention.

I hope my comments help and Good Luck in future Challenges!

Cheers
Paul

When I saw the thumb, I thought the deck might be marked", but now I dont' see that and wonder what the magnifying glass adds to the shot? 4
