Critique Club Review:

I'm afraid I have to join the chorus on this one. I don't see Gary Larson in this one. I realize that some people feel that a photo should be judged on merit alone, challege be hanged. However, I do feel that part of the score is the challenge, and that if the challeges were ignored then we would have un-ending free studies. I still would not have voted this image as low as some have. (I figure meeting the challenge or not is worth about 1 point.)

This is an interesting photo, good colors, saturation, and hues. Brightness is fine and contrast is very good. The focus and depth of field is excellent.

The drawback I do see is the sky. Pale and featureless, you've left a blank spot on the canvas. Cropping the sky our would have help a fair amount. Or catching it earlier or later in the day, when there is more color.

Overall a nice picture that should have been voted a bit higher.

I think this is meant for the "East Side" challenge.

Too dark for me and the hands don't look like work hands.

Sorry, I don't get the tie in to Larson or the Far side.

Lots of nice detail in the building. Not so much in the sky but still worth 9
