Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: As far as I can tel everything looks nicely focused. This reminds me of the negative image challenge, as well as the hope that I would never again have to look at negative images. Your post-processing provides a very interesting effect, only rendering part of the image as a negative. I like it, and its much easier to look at.

Lighting: Wonderful use of natural light to produce a great foreground, and a background that is very interesting despite a little of overexposure. The time of day that you chose worked very well for this image.

Composition/Content: The composition feels a little crowded. I do like the perfectly centered composition, but I think I;d rather see a bit more of the building. Perhaps this exact setup, but turning the camera to landscape rather than portrait.

My Opinion: What you produced here is not something that I normally prefer, but I strongly disagree with the score. There is no way that this is a sub-5 photo. Nicely seen and interestingly processed.

I like the message here ... I'm sure most people do. The composition is different and the eye bounces all over the place. I think this works. The bottom hand might be better open or more similar to the top hand to allow for a historical reference and to be more visible ... but overall very nice.

I like the idea but it doesn't shine through. The colours on the ground take too much attention.

I see we got the exact same score, friend :-) And oh, yeah, I actually gave you a 6... I kinda like this, it's different...

Oh this just doesn't work for me, the negative image loses much of the lovely architectural details.

this could have been an awesome shot if you had somebody's reflection in the rear bumper of the car (instead of just rows of houses)
the exhaust pipes dont add to this shot, neither does anything below the bumper really
could be sharper focus

I don't know if the inverting helos this image, the noise doesn't. The top of the building is very interresting though.
