Lovely "abstract". Nice subject. Some may say it DNMC however I think it's a great image and is certainly no less DNMC than some other real shockers in this challenge. I like the perspective, colours, BG and DOF control. 7

I like the simplicity of this pic. Like the the warmth of it. Nice vertical lines and pattern of the "halms" (had to look that up). My favorite so far.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

This is a lovely night shot architecture shot that still has a bit of twilight colored sky it it which really adds interest. I think it's sharp and interesting in terms of the building itself. I like the water in the shot for added interest.

As someone said below, there is a feeling of a slight list to the right, particularly the tower. I don't think those bushes on the left are doing you any favors, as they just block out too much of the building and because they are very dark, don't hold much interest themselves. I think they are the major element holding your score back. Since you took multiple images, I would have liked to have seen the yellow lights toned down a bit. They are so bright that they compel the eye to go there and not take the time to look around and see what other goodies are in the scene.

If I voted this challenge I would have voted a 5 or a 6.

I hope this is somewhat helpful.
