Curvature of an Egg

Comment by whagerbaumer:
Super idea. The fuzziness of the egg horizon brings forth a comparison to the curvature of moons and planets.

If it is recognizable as an object - it is not an abstract

So, do you like American Beauty? I'm not sure if this is abstract in terms of the challenge description (though i don't necessarily agree with the recognisable part of it) but it's certainly quite arty. I do very much like the bold colours evident here, the green of the wall is wonderfully contrasting with the sky, and the bags lettering matches the green wall rather well. Your choice of location is terrific. I'm not a big fan of borders (i ignore them largely when voting) but why you didn't select to use a dark green is unclear. Your focus on the bag is very good. Technically i think it is very good, and you evidentally considered and thought about the shot (the only thing missing is the tinkly and deep music). 8.

Interesting, but I'd lose the border.

How dare you try and represent an abstract concept? :)
Nice strong diagonal and contrasting color ... good luck!

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Wow, what a beautiful shot! Not much to add to this shot except like others I have to wonder exactly where the silhouette is.

The angle from which the picture was taken plays tricks on my eyes, one moment I can see the bridge coming towards me, yet at the same time leaning away. The illusion is a wonderful trick of the camera and a great catch by the photographer.

The darkness on the left is a bit distracting while the smokey light on the right works very well with this shot. Maybe a slightly tighter crop? This shot whould have been perfect for "Where you live" and probably would have scored much higher in a challenge like that.

I do also wonder what the shot might look like if it was straightened up a bit but then you would probably lose the illusion that has been created.

Good Luck In Future Challenges!
