Comment by ubique:
This striking geometric coincidence is so unusual and even improbable, that it is somehow let down a little by the very bottom bit being so ordinary. But then again, maybe that's a good thing? Maybe the outrageous optimism of the top 95% needs the other 5% just to remind us that no matter how divine and celestial a thing appears to be, it's all just man's works in the end. 9.

A lovely image, I'm surprised it didn't finish higher.

This seems slightly tilted to the right. Could just be the building in the foreground. Great capture, nonetheless! 8

I love abstract architecture shots and this is a really cool one. I love how the contrail somehow becomes part of the architecture. I like the gradient sky too.

I like the lines, nice composition, I am not sure whether this is in color of B&W...never the less, I would like to see the other option.

Very nice lines in this shot. Is this by any chance in Liverpool?

Comment by Paul:
With this image being all about straight lines, I think it needs a stronger solid vertical or horizontal to anchor it - I can see that you have matched it to the black white interface mid-bottom, but the right hand vertical has such a close relationship with the right hand border that the non-parallelism here really stands out. Don't get me wrong, I really like the image, I just think it looks a bit out of whack as presented.

Boy, you nailed the white here. Very skilfully handled without losing any of the fine detail in the branches. Love the minimalism too. Just beautiful.

Hope this finishes strongly for you Sarah. It deserves a 6+ for the elegance alone.
