Tha certainly is intersting. What is it? Looks like something you'd see in the movie "Hellraiser". The background is a bit too busy, but I like th main subject. Very interesting. Jacko. 7

Wonderful composition and framing. I wish you could have captured this when the shadows in the front were a touch longer. That would have added to the desolate feeling, I think. Nevertheless, wonderful capture.

I love the compostion of this photo, with the wall running at one angle and the sunlight on the ground at an opposite angle. It creates a feeling of sadness, of time gone by. The lonely lamps on the wall enhance that feeling. It is a shame that there are some cars in the background, but the foreground is really great.
One of my favourites.

Beautiful. Glad you didn't crop off the shadows of the chains on the snow. That adds so much in my opinion.. Like how you can almost still see the chains at the top center where the sun almost (?) washed them out. Plain and simple but beautiful. Should be up there at the top. I give it a 9.

Critique Club Critique
(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) ΓΆ€“ Very good. Sign is placed off center nicely. The city then nicely completes the photo. The relative size of the sign is very good.
(2) BACKGROUND ΓΆ€“ The city is nicely laid out with respect to the sign. The blue sky acts as good negative space.
(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL ΓΆ€“ Focus & DOF look quite good.
(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL ΓΆ€“ No real suggestions, looks good to me.
(5) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO ΓΆ€“ Nicely chose sign and composition for the photo. The wording of the sign is humorous and eye catching. The major negative for this challenge would be the position of the sun and the lighting of the sign. The photo should have been taken with more light on the sign. That probably was the one item that cost you in the scoring.

Nice image and I like the way the light shines throught the doors. However, the image is too dark to see all the details. If you were to go up to the wall and take your reading, (pressing down slightly on your shutter release) continue to hold down the release until you get back to were you want to take the shot. then shot the picture. Your camera will read what light it takes to get the wall and not the sky. This will give you a very satisfying photograph. I hope this helped. John

Very interesting textural image. Shadows are good too. The hot spot near the top of the cube doesn't enhance this any though.
