Hello from the CC,

As I said in my original comment, the colours are great in this shot. Vivid blues and greens, with nice, crisp grays in the buildings.

Generally, this looks like a drawing. The blue looks randomly painted in the water, with some spots beings less saturated than others. The sky is the downfall of this shot, as it looks like the blue was painted in with an air brush. The haloing around the buildings, as someone mentioned during the challenge, is distracting.

Lines and composition are good. If I were you, I'd look through all of the comments you've received so far and take them to heart. It really *does* look like a screenshot from a video game, or like something put together in Maya.

Not a bad shot, but I've got to ask: is this what you saw when you took the image? Did you reproduce the original scene in a way you wanted to?

Regards,
Geoff Ball

Different but the rather flat look you have achieved is not to my taste.

Sorry but I can´t put my finger on it, this shot looks like more a screen shot from a computer game than a photograph. Probably the coloring and the halo around the houses. Anyway, the look is not to my taste and this shot got a 4 from me.

There's a lot of haloing around the buildings, and the water looks artificially blue, as if someone's poured a whole load of copper sulphate into it.

Looks like a 3D rendering.

The color on the water looks fake. Good composition.

The pp on this gives an effect of this being an assemblage of clip art, rather than a real photograph. The dodging and burning in the sky and on the edges of the buildings is very distracting as well.
