An interesting image that meets the challenge well

You have chosen a good high viewpoint to look down on the scene of which the church forms an important and interesting part. It is nicely composed with the church standing out in its foreground position against the busy backdrop of high rise buildings. I am intrigued by your title of ‘resilience’, for me it is more symbolic of the reduced significance of the church in modern society which is reflected in the dominance of the buildings around it. Even the crane waiting to construct the next high-rise is taller than the church even with perspective, in earlier history the tallest building in the community was the church, here it is reversed. This might not be the interpretation you intended but it still works for me, well seen Marcel.

An appealing image that meets the challenge well.

A very effective and appealing composition with the off-centre path leading our eyes into the rest of the image it works well. Overall I think you need a little more contrast through the use of, probably, a red filter, this is especially true given the contrast in the sky. A crop of the foreground may also help by removing the crop clump in the centre foreground the path takes us straight in from the bottom edge. Thanks for your entry Marcel

Well done Marcel in finding the potential for this challenge in the building you have observed. In terms of the challenge I think your composition could have been significantly more effective, overall I find this composition has strong visual elements that compete for attention away from the challenge theme of obscurity. I would suggest a panoramic crop of the top section of the building from where the line of the windows meets the edge to include the floor of the topmost section. This would make for a much simpler and more effective composition consisting solely of obscurity which would have met the challenge theme better and may well have scored higher.

Thanks for your entry Marcel

A great abstract image; it looks like it is floating.

An interesting image that partially fulfils the challenge

In terms of the challenge brief ‘lines and circles’ the image does not convincingly fulfil the brief, the lines are implied and evident but the circles are absent. They could be interpreted in the shapes of the train and crossing lights but they are very superficial and not readily implied in the image. A much better translation would have been a close up of the wheels against the track this would have met the challenge head on and probably produced a graphic image of great potential. The image as it stands is quite a pleasing record shot of a train approaching a level crossing and suitably composed.

Thanks for your entry Marcel
