Nice reflection. The hints of color in the flags add a nice touch. Abstract - well just maybe.

Comment by melismatica:
This really stretches the idea of 'abstract'. There really isn't anything abstract about this skyline photo. There is no real strong design element happening in this image. It is a decently composed skyline and the lights around the houses at an interesting element but not in an abstract design sense. Technically, the focus could have been quite a bit sharper. There is a light of detail loss in the water. Low score is based mainly on failing to meet the challenge. Asthetically, it is a reasonably pleasing shot although not outstanding.

A bit overexposed. Does not really feel abstract to me.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

This is a great shot of the drummer in the band but I'm betting you got a lot of, "Doesn't really fit the challenge" because you can see so much detail in his face and such. Now, let me look and see if I was right. Yep, I was right. It has the potential to be a great silhouette with stronger lighting behind the drummer to darken him up a bit more.

I had given this a 5 during the challenge because it is a great capture of an action shot but like I said earlier, not quite a silhouette. The cropping is well done and the overall composition of the shot also works very well. Just need to have a stronger light behind him.

Good Luck In Future Challenges!

Nice capture, not much of a silhouette though... Some noise evident in his face that distracts a little.
