nice attempt under difficult circumstances (street lights).

p.s. It's spelt quiet, but I haven't scored you lower for your spelling.

For the Critique Club:

Composition: Only from the comments can I tell what this is (I assume now it IS the flagpole.) That in itself is not vital, but without that knowledge I have no idea of scale, for example, or what some other angle might have fetched. I wonder why there is no flab aboard? Or what this shot would be like with the flag attached. It is not an uninteresting shot, but I am not sure how long it would hold my interest.

Technical: It all appears to be in focus (although again the lack of a sense of scale takes away any indication of DOF) and in what appears to be quite bright light, there are no important areas overexposed. I think it is a little flat in color ("washed out" as one commenter said.)

Overall: Certainly meets the challenge with the blue sky, but I don't feel drawn to the image in any way.

Initial: It took me a minute to understand the impact of this photo.

I think that a different angle would help me/the viewer fully appreciate what has occurred here. The smoking/smouldering log in the lower right corner isn't placed for impact. My eye goes directly to the bright spots of the trees, which leads me to believe there is no urgency or sadness to the photo. More of an edge of the green that didn't burn, in contrast to the black and burned areas would tell a stronger story.

I hope you tell us what this is. I sure can't figure it out. It's nice and clear, good focus, don't know how good the cropping is cause I don't know how big it is or what it is. What I see I like, would just like to see more . PTL

The great 3 million dollar Canberra flagpost? BEAUTIFUL! What happened to the flag though? Wish the flag was flapping in the wind, it would have made the picture more interesting... I have a very similar picture. Good luck!
