Hey there from the Critique Club

First of all, congrats on your second highest scoring entry to date.

Camera Work/Technical: Great focus and nice depth if field use. You also did a very nice job with selective desaturation to yield a very interesting image.

Lighting: Very nice and very even. There are no areas that were lit to the point of distraction, nor are there any harsh shadows that are overly distracting.

Composition/Content: I do like the composition that you chose, but I don't see how the elements play together. Your positioning of the balloon is positioned well to draw the viewer into the frame, but the coloring is a bit overpowering, thus competing for the eye's full attention.

My Opinion: Nice job meeting the challenge, and I think that this one scored pretty close to its potential. With a different foreground subject, this one might have done a bit better. You have a great empty room there for a great start.

Eric

Looks like same rooms as "sign of life", maybe related members or DPC friends? Let the balloon fly around and it will soon destruct on one of the many rods hanging down ... I do like the picture, and it meets the challenge.

First impression: Great choice for an architecture challenge.

Composition: Good use of the diagonal space. The diagonal line of the street leads the viewer through the image.

Exposure: You seem to of handled the reflective surface well. There don't appear to be any areas that are blown out (at least none that are large enough to be a distraction).

Impact: Impact is achieved by the strange shape of the building. I don't know if that's enough to keep a viewer without an interest in architecture interested in the image though.

Good find for the challenge.

Very unexpected! Nice use of selective desat. I like the diagonal created by the subject. Interesting with lots of energy.

Great job all around the photo captures my attention and retains it. Which usually would be a good thing except that "Superman blowup". :P Really I wish you would of used a prop that along with the theme of the photo and the processing. I'm not going to knock you for having a bad prop (at least it shows you put something in the room) But I would love to see this photo retaken with the same editing with a corresponding prop. I believe it would be great. 7
