Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that makes a significant contribution to the challenge.

Elegant being a most appropriate title Gin Tay, a lovely image. The composition is lovely with the strong base at bottom left and that lovely sinuous stalk reaching up in to the frame topped by the gorgeous yellows of the petals. I love the pastel shades and the lighting sets it all off really well. The soft focus background is nicely done too with just enough and not too much detail to detract from the flower itself, a lovely job well done.

Well yes, I think it works quite well in a simplistic way though not necessarily minimalist way Gin Tay, which may or may not, be relevant to what you were aiming to achieve. I like it, it works quite well but I̢۪m wishing we didn̢۪t have the edge of the board the way we do. I̢۪m seeing a closer composition from the soft focus corner to the focus where it is on the red hotels with the car still out of focus but there is nothing but monopoly board. I don̢۪t know if this would have been possible but it would have made me feel much more in monopoly land concentrating on those reds.

Thank you for your time to go through my image. Appreciate very much your detailed comments & thoughts.

I like the pink and red... but I really want that car in focus for some reason that I can't figure out but must be associated with my childhood. :D

Originally posted by sidpixel: Hello from the critique club An interesting image that contributes to the challenge This is certainly a colourful sunset cityscape you̢۪ve captured Gin Tay. In terms of composition, I think you could have made it more interesting by excluding the buildings on the left, I would have cropped it to remove all the buildings from the left where the foreground building is. I would then have lowered the rest of the scene so that the interesting shapes and lights were much lower in the frame giving emphasis to the sunset sky. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your pointers. Well noted :)
