Glass Towers

Comment by kirsty_mcn:
I like the clean simple composition, and the added interest of the triangle of reflections, which seems to combine the city life with the clinical, ordered, cold architecture. I'm not sure why, but I would like a clockwise rotation about 5deg, it just seems a little wonky as is.

I think I'd like it if there was a little more contrast between the colour of the sky, and the colours on the buildings - not sure if this would be possible, maybe with some curves adjustments or something..

No Skateboarding Allowed

Comment by kirsty_mcn:
I love the toning with the red sign, not too saturated...subtle reference to the "no skateboarding".

I know this wouldn't really be possible with the panning, but I wish the sign was sharper so the "one way" was more obvious.

The exposure seems spot on, and along with the toning gives it a very photojournalistic feel.

I think overall the photo "deserved" better, but I'm not really surprised of its score given the DPC audience

Sixty one seconds

Comment by kirsty_mcn:
At first I saw this and was like "woah....awesome" but after a few seconds it lost some of the wow factor - the background houses seem pretty soft, and lights a tad washed out (so you lose the nice starbursts a bit). THe exposure seems perfect on the santa maria and the right hand side, but not so great in the b/g.

The colours, however, are lovely and rich, but I think there needs to be more of a focal point to the composition. The sky seems to lead you down to the middle of the buildings, but theres nothing there to see.

I really like the atmosphere this conjures up, especially in the context of the challenge title.
I don't like the centredness of the boy, especially as it isn't exactly centred, but certainly not far enough from the centre to be on a third.
The watch is a subtle addition - I don't know whether I personally would be observant enough to notice straightaway, but thats not to mean it doesn't (even subconciously) add to the composition/atmosphere.
I also find the partial name distracting - I don't know whether it would be better with the full name, or a more common name like "Smith"

Really sorry for how late these critiques are...

I like the composition, with the nicely busy fireworks and the simple head centred horizontally. However, I'd prefer more black empty space around the face, which gets lost.
Other than this, I do like the picture - it's not your best but it has a nice quirkiness to it and very well suited to the challenge.

You have to do something like this to make paper interesting, well done.

Very creative take on the challenge. I like everything except I think the border is too large for such a delicate pattern.
