Critique Club feedback:

I have to laugh and admit that as soon as I saw this I thought to myself 'looks like one of dtremain's images' before even seeing the name below it.

I think the tones work well with the subject and certainly acheive the sort of look you were going for. Obviously a straight-on shot of a car is not going to fare as well in a free study as other subjects, simply from lack of excitement. This is nice for what it is, however.

Thanks!

This is very cool. Love the designs and the textures and the belly button in the lower left.

I love flowers and it looks great in the negative. You could probably crop out the little guys in the bottom and the stuff to the right but then you are left with just a flower.

I **love** this interpretation of the challenge. You use the "interference" of water as the equivalent of the Impressionist painting techniques to make light your subject.

Any suggestions? I loved the detail I got in this, but don't like the leaves on the right side. Not sure how I could crop this without losing at least part of the flower - but maybe that's not all bad (or maybe this just isn't fixable...)

Very cool. Great detail, great tones. Hell of an abstract. Print it!

Only way to do it is to shoot it before it gets too dark outside. Still got some nice detail on the bricks even if the fixture did overexpose.

Yes. The building is quite prominent.

The most interesting part of this scene to me is the building itself and those windows in particular.
