Hello from the critique club

An interesting challenge that meets the challenge

Quite a challenge this, to make something interesting from the everyday mundane that we take for granted, I think you’ve done well here though I do think it could be improved upon. Given the image here I like the graphic qualities of the clock face against the equally graphic roof. Because of this I don’t think the left of the shot contributes anything at all in fact I would say it detracts. A portrait orientated crop with the clock in the bottom left corner would, I think, work much better?

An artistic eye. I wonder how many people pass under this scene and never see the light, lines and texture.

Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that contributes well to the open challenge

A great image Jonathon. Ok, so we don’t have perfect symmetry but you have made a very good job of what must have been a difficult situation. What makes the image work so well is the clarity of detail and what a lot of interesting detail there is to absorb. The overall exposure is good the colours are well saturated against the near pastels of the plainer (if such a word can be used here!) surfaces. A great job, well done

IMO this type of picture only works if taken exactly vertically. Nice try though.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Ahhh yes, yet another victim of whatever foibles wander the DPC voter mind...*sigh* If it's any consolation, you beat my entry by miles! ...even worse, imnsho, when pp tricks like inverting are used. Like you I find the restrictions of the Minimal ruleset to be a little aggravating. However that also means that having a tighter set of rules to work with means having to put a lot more thought into a capture. The basic composition is fine, the focus sharp and lots of detail. Good settings though a shutter speed of 1/1600 seems a bit high to me...it's a building, not a rodeo bronc!

I think the main reason this image did poorly was because it isn't quite big enough to be a true architecture shot, and also the vertical crop - that means voters have to scroll up and down to see the image in full and impact is lost.

Hope this helps, feel free to PM me
