and there i was about to phone english heritage and the national trust about trespassers in the dead of night ;) completely got me - i've actually been there a couple of times, and i was totally convinced by your shot. totally excellent shot, and great display of lateral thinking - you should work for NASA or something...

Geometric View of OKC Bombing Memorial
by dartompkins

Comment:
normally when someone uses the line of reflection from water exactly half way up an image, so you have 50/50 symmetry, it just drives me MAD! but here, against all my pre-conceived prejudices, it works really bloody well. indeed, due to the shape of the monument, such composition serves a purpose, and it is very effective. i love the hole in the monument, which is finished by the reflection in the water. sadly, i think i prefer this to the one you selected for the challenge...

The Pyramid - Long Beach (CSULB) Landmark

Comment:
i really enjoyed this picture - i thought the colours were cool, the angle of shot interesting, and the perspective with all the lines going off in the distance sucked me in... gave this a nine, and it should have finishes higher...

Mount Blanca
by Sammie

Comment:
i think the imapct of this is slightly lessened by the inclussion of the river and grasses in the foreground - the fact that they're shrouded in shade is out kilter with how majestically the mountains are illuminated by the low-level sun. cropping the shot 5mm below the top of the green area might have improved composition a bit. certainly a very beautiful shot though, and the dramatic looking scenery is well caught. 7.

Pride of London

cor, a few of you blokes went down to the Tate last week, didn't you? this is a marvellous image of Wrens finest - the lovely blues go very well for the selective desat - which itself works well and has been employed effectively. though, it's so convincing i can't be 100% sure if it was desatted. the bridge, the cathedral, the river and surrounding buildings all work together and forms a wonderful composition - would not look out of place framed and for sale on some tourist friendly stall. excellent job - 10

Lloyds of London
by PeterC

Comment:
hey! i know this building! fantastic isn't it? personally, i found it a right bugger to get a decent shot of it whole (streets are far too narrow), but here you've proved that you can get interesting shots of just a few certain details. the colours are lovely, but there is slight evidence of some excessive post editting (artefacts around the edge of the building). it's a good viewpoint though, and you've certainly captured the industrial feel of this wonderful office building. 7.

CN Tower - World's Tallest Building
by Moose101

Comment:
Well, worlds tallest tower... this is a great photo though - very elegant portrayal of something you get to see quite a bit on this site. i love the greenish tinged mist at the base of the shot, gives a very nice feel to the overall composure. not entirely sure if the narrow width of the picture is to my liking, but overall, great stuff. 8.

Cat Scan

congrats Mr P on a very funny shot and a job well done. i can strongly sympathise with the anguish of violently butchering a poorly, CUTE, defenceless wittle soft animal - my bunny suffered the same way for the sake of art. the guilt should be overwhelming, but when the result is as rib-tickling funny as the above, i think it's entirely justified. all you need is to find a willing old lady to make the suitable repairs to poor old matt.

again, well done!

What Will They Think Of Next?

Comment:
the fact that it's "streak free" just totally adds to the cleverness of this shot. technically (although expertly done and pin-sharp like) it's a bit uninspiring, but it's incredibly likeable and though didn't get a belly laught from me, it has given me a smile. 8

Depiction of a Slow Deterioration after nearly a Thousand Years

would just like to thank the nine below for the constructive and illustrative comments. the quality of each and everyone is considerably higher than normal, so i was just moved to say, cheers, thanks guys.

note about the shot - in the last week or so i've been in a bit of a muddle with regards to monitor calibration. on my home PC, the above looks great, but everywhere else, the centre looks very grey and shoddy. i'm hopin it's all been sorted now...
