Comment by Ken:
Your picture is very sharp and the dull colors give it a late-night feel. When I worked in Chicago one summer I walked past this bridge many times and it was always busy with people. What probably doesn't work well here is how the tower is dead center. Perhaps moving a bit to the left and showing more street would have added, but I suspect there may have been cars there.

Did you read the challenge?


Photograph a portrait that says something about the subject within the framework of their own environment.

There is nothing wrong with this shot at all: it's technically well done, focus is good, good sharpness. It's a night shot so lighting is below average and colors are a bit muted. Compositionally, I'd say it's a little flat. The point-of-view is not exceptionally interesting, the main subject is very centered. If you really wanted to focus on the central building, why not move in even more and get rid of that negative space (pavement/street) at the bottom? Or move back and find a more interesting composition, perhaps decentering the subject and showing a bit more of the bridge, or a passer-by, or something to add a little drama and action to an otherwise static scene?

This photo could use more clarity, it doesnt have the pop I would expect against its geometric shape with such a dark backdrop. Maybe a slightly different angle would have given more to the photograph. Impossible to know all the conditions for the photographer and camera, but looks like a tricky lighting situation with a shadow overcast to contend with. Overall it is interesting and original. Nice work considering the many possible technical challenges in attempting a shot like this.
