Greetings from the Critique Club

What I think you are trying to depict here is that modern city dwellers have many ways to connect with the world. At least that is what the title suggests, and the major elements of the photo are all related to this. Even the aspect ratio and smallish size are suggestive of a television picture. But I don't think it succeeds very well because, although the elements are there, they aren't really connected to each other. The satellite dish and windows are both obvious, but "point" in different directions. The junction box is there, but there isn't anything to tie it to the other elements.

I like the high contrast black and white approach. And the "halos" around the structures of the dish work here; although they look artificial (probably caused by oversharpening), they add a certain character that I find appealing. The problems I see with it are the less than perfect focus and the poor lighting which gives it a very flat appearance.

Photo is a bit on the small side. I'm not really sure what the object of focus should be.

It's a very nice photo, and answers the challenge well, but it would have more impact if larger.

I kind of like this in an abstract way.The high contrast black and white helps. Ultimately though, I'm too aware that it is kind of a boring view of a satelite dish and an ugly apartment building.
