Hi from CP2!!

Nice use of colour.
The focus is good.

The plastic(or whatever it is) in the background gives an interesting texture, but its a bit distracting.

Hope it helped:)

Hi Shailesh!

Is it a telephone cord? I can't tell what it is, though I didn't hold this against you in voting. I think what puts me off the most about this is that the red seems oversaturated while the rest has no color at all and I'm puzzled by this choice. It's difficult to say anything about an abstract, however, that isn't just a matter of personal taste. You finished well with it, so good job!

Greetings from the Critique Club!

OH NO! How on earth did I get this one? LOL!

I love this image but you already knew that! This is fun, active, colorful and would make a great picture for the front page of the entertainment section or even the front page.

The colors are wonderful and the timing is also very good. The only thing I might have changed looking at it closer , since it is an advanced challenge would be to clone out the spots on the floor. Not sure if it's debris or light spots from a disco ball but they are touch distracting. Other than that, I love this shot!

Hope my comments help and OF COURSE Good Luck in future challenges!

I think this could have been an awesome photograph if taken a bit earlier in the evening. Right around dusk the sun is down, but there's still some nice blue hues left in the sky. With the blak sky it's a bit too contrasty for my taste.

First impression
1. What is this?
2. Beautiful thing but what is it?
3. On a mirror but what is it?
4. Good focus
5. Nice setup.
6. Is this plastic behind the thing that I do not know what is?
What could be better
1. Looks a bit grainy in the left side above the ......
2. Put a frame on it to stop the Viewer from going out of the picture
Nothing more to say. Hope my wonderings help.

Dusky Pulsating City

Comment by strangeghost:
I think the colors in this shot are not doing justice to the actual view seen by the eye. Everything came out looking shades of yellow when the actual city lights are much more varied than that. Subtle, but still full of blues, reds, greens, etc. The sunset also makes me think your capture or PP is cheating you on the richness and saturation that is available. Night shots are tough to capture well and tricky to process, but the rewards are worth the effort.

Compositionally, I think this shot will not please voters as much as some other cityscapes because it lacks a natural focus point for the eye to rest on or return to. The train line and highways leading off to the upper left help, but are not enough to carry the composition by themselves. You were hemmed in by your desire to capture the sunset, and the fact that the direction of NW contained no larger lit buildings to provide a focal point.

Very nice composition and post-processing. The bottom-crop is perfect - just the right balance of water reflections and dark sky. Good luck Shailesh!
