Greetings from the Critique Club. I have looked over your entry and am quite pleased with what I see. Your exposure is almost spot on. You have very good focal point and pretty good composition, would have done much better I think had you taken the photo offcenter to the left, with more negative space off to the right side. Rules of thirds help in scoring here. The idea was extremely nice and very well executed. Kudos for that. I think with a little adjustment to subject placement you would have score much better. Overall very good job.

smyk,
For what it is worth I like it vertical like you have it. The flow of the lines just feels better to me. I looked at it horizontal and did not likt it as well.

The title is clever and a good attempt to integrate the sign in to what you want to convey. You probably have tried photoshoping out the sign and taking a look. I would try that. If you want the sign I would remove the post and the two bolts on the sign at a minimum. Better yet would be rotating the sign, after removing the post.

Just my honest opinion. Thanks for the picture.

Bruce

Challenge
- Relevant to the Challenge? Hard not to be in this one. ;)

Compostion
- Good or Bad? How can it be fixed? I don't understand why you chose to rotate the image. I might understand if the sign weren't there, but it is and ruins the flow of the building. On or the other needs to change. No Rotate or no Sign.
- Is there anything missing?
- Good use of Depth of Field? Yes. This requires a wide DOF which looks good.
- Good focus? Yes

Lighting
- Good use of light? Yes & No. I like to see more of the shadows, but the design of the building overhang might not allow for thme in that area. I love the shape of the shadows in the bottom portion.

Aesthetics/Artistic Appeal:
- Colors and Contrast. The sky has a funny tealish tint to it and seems oversaturated.
- What is my reaction or feelings? I'd like to see this on re-shot without the sign. If you do go take a ladder with you to get the weight you need toshoot over the sign...

This reminds me of the opening to the original, 1960s Batman movie!

Great job!

Nice idea but I wished he was off-centered not so much because of rule of thirds but because it would enhance the feeling of him trying to escape.

Was this image supposed to be turned 90 degrees? If so it really doesn't work for me. If it was a mistake, then I have an issue with the shadows as they appear on the building. Either the building should be all in shadow or all in light.
