Interesting composition. The lighting on the face is a little harsh, but I like his expression - it's a very warm and loving photo.

I think this shot was zoomed in too closely. The cropping of the top of the structure on the left is distracting.

Comment by glad2badad:
The building (which I take is the landmark) seems washed out and pixelated. Appears that the focal point was the bridge sign?

Comment by autool:
Composition: 5, I can't determine which is the landmark, the tower,bridge,or smokestack.
Technical: 5, a bit underexposed in foreground.
Appeal: 4, Quite busy, with no dingle subject, leaving it without much of a WOW factor.
Challenge: 6, I wouldn't think wow what a landmark if I weren't already looking.
Overall Calculated Average Score: 5

Comment by Arcanist:
Yes, compared to an H, O or HO scale toy, better believe its low tech. Cropped a bit tight on the sides, some more white (not much mind you) would really make this stand out. Lighting on the flat foreface is perfect, but on the platform and upper section seems way overdone, perhaps moving the backlight away more or dropping its power a stop or two would provide a more even feel. Seems to be a bunch of dust on the platform as well. I hate dusting, but I think it would go a long way to giving the shot an extra edge.

A little to close to the suject I think, maybe backup a little and scale down the lighting some
