Modern Day Colosseum: The MCGby
hotpastaComment by hanneke: Hello, Greetings from the Critique Club.
As requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission. Please keep in mind this is a personal opinion.
First Impression - the most important one:
Sharp & detailed.
Composition:
Composition looks good for me. I love super wide angle lenses with architecture, so I think that's a great decision. Makes everything look a bit "different" with the distortion. The dark road / sides and sky really work here.
Subject:
The subject doesn't really do much for me (sorry!)
Technical (Color, focus, and light):
Focus: Focus is very sharp, maybe a bit too sharp with USM, but that doesn't bother me.
Color: Colors look allright.
Light: I think you've exposed just the right time. Nothing to say about that. The lights at the top of the stadium look quite awesome. Great to see how they spread over the top of the building.
Overall I think you did a nice job with this long exposure shot. The only reason I could think this didn't end higher is because I think the subject is a bit boring. But that's a personal opinion :)
I hope you've found this critique helpful. Good luck with future challenges!
