Greetings from the Critique Club...

You score reflects the "where's the connection" for sure. I'll try not to repeat what's already been pointed out, not commenting on the contest connection but rather the shot itself (I didn't vote on this image but I'd have to agree on the contest disconnect)

I found the repetition of geometric shapes and simple colors (blue, red, yellow) a plus. Aligning the lamp vertical and horizontal lines adds to this effect. This lower/central part of the frame is the most interesting.

I'm struggling to see a main subject or story so I'm left with disconnected images and no way to pull them together. The shot looks "chopped" as the bottom elements are cut off (building, trees, and pole) while there's a bit too much blue sky throwing off the balance.

Please keep in mind this is only one woman's pov :)

Email me with any questions or comments. I enjoyed browsing through your other challenge and portfolio entries and found lots to like. I look forward to seeing more entries! Happy shooting

Theresa

I'm sorry. I'm missing out on what this really is. I can see the shooting fountains, the boy, the hot dog stand, water reflections and a black and yellow striped something. I can't figure it out. 4

For me, I don't see any dramatic perspective effect as described in the challenge. The long streams of reflected lighting are very distracting to me along with all of the motion blur.

(I don't really understand the title) Too blurry in my opinion. Lights are distracting and it's too busy in my opinion.

nothing centers attention, way too out of focus

Poor composition I'm afraid since the bank branch takes a back-seat to the Bishop furniture building.
