Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: Very nice, strong image with some great near-silhouettes. I like your coloring, but that 13 seconds produced some pretty strong ghosting.

Lighting: Overall, the lighting looks a little flat. I guess that it was pretty dark out there, huh? I think a little curves adjustment would have helped out your lighting a bit.

Composition/Content: Your test placement is a bit awkward, but I really like your composition. You have leading lines all over that work to draw the eye in and around the entire image.

My Opinion: This is definitely a stronger image that the score reflected. With better text placement and a little more contrast, I think that this would have scored much better. Even with it as it is, 5.2 is far too low. Darn voters.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

Nice shot - like the reflection! The title seems more an album title than a band, and the aspect ratio doesn't quite look like a CD or album cover, which may or may not be affecting your score depending upon the mood of voters.

Like this picture alot I might have desaturated the "sign" a little as it takes a bit of focus from the beautiful surroundings.
