Very cool! I love this. The perspective of the tiny worker against that huge building and the sky is what makes this for me.

Super monochromatic theme. The stark lines of the square building against the softness of the clouds in the sky is an interesting take on the image.

Greetings from the Critique Club

Hello fotodude, its fotolady! LOL

I am probably not the best one to critique your photo because I really don't see much I would change. I really like it. I voted on the challenge but never got to this entry. I would have voted it a 7.

There are two things that I would have like to see in this photo.
1) I saw that you cloned out a runner. I think that I would like to see that. I guess it would depend on where he was located in the shot.
2)I wish that there was more color in the sky. I like the dark road, I think that it is interesting. I wouldn't change that. But I think that I would like the shot better if the enitire skyline abouve the trees was beautiful shades of orange and pink and red. Right now, it is just a "spot". That "spot" is where your eye leads. This takes away from the curvy road. The road is your leading line right?

If the sky was more colorful, leaving the road dark (I think that it looks good that way) it would put more of an impact on the curvy waves of the road. Kudos to you for not having a lot of noise in this dark photo. That can easily happen with less light.

Overall--I like it. I think that you thought this out and did a pretty good job. Good luck in future contest.

Seem out of focus. I think the drop of water could have been made more clear and sharper.

Not all that interesting or attractive. Maybe back up a little and get more of the web in?

Water droplet on a spider web? Very cool shot, but I personally would like to see the web a bit more clearly. Even thought the web is not the main element, the leading lines of it would help IMO.

Nice image. Nice and simple, but striking.

Can't quite make out what this is, but don't really care. I like the minimalism of it. I also like the fact that my mind wanders as to what it is. I love images that make me use my imagination. Pure black border shows that the black in your shot isn't truly black, which makes it look soft.
