interesting documentary style photo... maybe photograping one pair of bills would have allowed you to bring out some more interesting detail and create a less literal view of the currency. = 4

John,

Thanks for your critique of my Brooklyn photograph. I felt my main problem with the photo was the perspective of the tops of the walls of the warehouse vs. the brooklyn bridge in the background, and the fact that the walls were brightly lit vs. the partially lit dark stone of the bridge. After the competition started it occured to me that maybe I should have framed it and in text at the bottom of the frame said 'Welcome from Brooklyn' or something like that.

As to having just taken a picture of the bridge, I've used it in 'leading lines' and 'bridges', and feel a regular shot of it is a bit cliche (and I didn't feel like waiting around for catching the bridge with the statue of liberty in the background at sunset ;-)

Cheers, Tom

Neat; funky colors! Would have liked to have seen the tops of the chairs. Don't like the flash bouncing off the top chair. Still a nice photo. 7

Nice image. Good idea. I like the way that the chairs are stacked in a pattern in which helps add to the interest to the image.

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Hi Tom...

I like the architecture capture in this photo quite a bit... The brickwork and the lines and general composition are all excellent. The color looks a bit odd... possibly from a saturation bump, but not sure... A little extra contrast could help a bit I believe...

As for the postcard theme, I'm not so sure I like it. Postcards generally illustrate a site you would want to visit. I'm not saying that Brooklyn is not a good place to visit, but this particular spot doesn't particularly inspire me to make a trip to see it.

The bridge itself, on the other hand, would be a much more inpsiring scene on its own I believe. The architecture provided there lends itself very well to some interesting photos... I have seen this particular bridge photographed many times in many different ways... I think it's the GW bridge? Not exactly sure...

Keep up the good work :)

This is one killer shot! It gives the impression the sky is made of tulips, I like it.
