Hi from the Critique Club.

Fit: Well, the image seems to fit the rule.

Composition: The composition is ok, the "horizon" does seem to be right in the middle of the frame though. The line of flags seems to draw my eye away from the canon rather than to it, which is what you would want.

Technical: Here's where your score was hit hard. As the commenters said, the overexposed sky is not a good look. I am guessing you were shooting towards the sun.

Feel: It is hard to look past the overexposed sky but if I do so (and the average voter may not) I don't have any emotional attachment to the image so it would fall in the "average" range of 5-6.

Congrats on a PB, PM me if you have any queries.

This idea has been used too frequently, but you didn't know that and the composition is good, so extra points to you.

Comment by Blink_Too_Fast:
Nice composition. Out of focus & distracting vignetting. The texture looks like noise.

Unfortunately the image is over exposed by at least 2/3 of a stop.

Comment by Rankles:
A little overexposed and the flags detract from the ROT.

and about to blow the globe off the light pole... This picture conveys the sense of national mourning.

Not bad but too bright for my taste, I would have preferred this shot 1/3 to 1/2 stop darker to bring out more in the skies and better colors.

just too much negative space imo... and no depth to indicate the scale! N
