Thank you for all the comments everyone. It was a conscious effort to place that brick structure in the foreground as that's what really makes this photo.

A little disappointed that it didn't do better but my last 2 challenges have been my best so far (Framing/Travel Guides).

What I Really Wanna Do Is Direct!

Thanks, I was a bit disappointed as well. My average started out at 6.2 and dropped all the way down to 5.6. A lot of people commented about my wide border and I think that may have subconsciously affected voting. My intent was to keep a true widescreen aspect ratio. Thanks for all the great comments, this is my highest commented photo yet.

Summer is the best time to visit Seattle

Wow, great view of the city. The mountain (sorry, I suck at Geography) is a great touch. Focus appears to be locked on the trees in the foreground, making the buildings slightly soft on the focus.

Too much negative space (even if this was for the "Framing" challenge) and I don't find this to be an interesting subject.

Out and About in New York City Area

Image cropped a little closely to the sides. I think this photo begs for landscape orientation. It's a shame, I'd like to have seen more of the garden and fountain but I suppose the subject of your photo was the globe. In that case, I would've cut off the plants and grass at the bottom but that's just me.

Providence, RI - We design the city, the car is up to you.

Great shot. Too bad the trees on the left and the traffic light pole I find distracting. Also wish the yellow car at the bottom wasn't cut off.

Italian Water Garden at Thanksgiving Point

Comment:
The appearance of black outlines around the trees and halo around the sculpture appear to be from oversharpening. I like the detail in the fountain but the background I find distracting. I think you could've also placed the statue all the way in the corner of the upper right of the frame.

Interesting angle, but just a little too slanted to portray a building. The ArtsPost sign is also cut off and the sky washed out.
