This image meets the challenge of creatively capturing an interesting photograph of architecture NOT as most images in this challenge are a photograph of interesting acrchitecture!

Comment by ubique:
This is in Lansing, I think? The almost cartoon-like level of colour saturation is effective here; it gives the building an energetic character and presence entirely consistent with its function. The chosen exposure has also transformed the water into a surreal baseboard for this lovely (art deco?) industrial building ... makes it look a bit like a model rather than the real structure. Clever & thoughtful work. 8.

::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
Wow ... hmmmm .. ok nice body.

Composition:
I think this suits this shot. I feel personally it is really centred .. and I am not a fan of this .. but for this shot it seems to work well. You have good position of the face .. and the lighting seems to work showing good body definition.

Subject:
meets the challenge ... and does so in a huge way.

Technical (Colour and light):
ok .. hard to say really .. its red .. got to be red .. .and shows read. ... it is really sharp .. and still red. you can see the water spots on the stomach ...

To grow its vote?:
I really don't know .. I took a look at the others .. and they seemed a little more 'real' to me .. if you know what i mean ... picking a theroretical place could be a minor issue .. but you depicted it well.

Summary:
Great shot .. well done.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via
the PM system.

Cheers

Kari
