Downtown Box Truck Fire

Comment:
Good work, capturing some real life action - maybe could have provided the shot to a newspaper or something. Composition is good and the smoke makes a great interesting background. A more witty title might have worked - the truck looks like it belongs to a cooking company, based on the chef's hat. Maybe something like "Bertrands new flame-grilled range of foods" or "Bertrands cancels 'Cook-while-delivering' strategy"?

Great colours, nice symmetry and the people form a strong focal point by being silohuetted. Good work - it makes me want to know more about where they are and what they are waiting for.

The sky is Not the limit

I love the transition from dark to light. I'm also a sucker for architecture and symmetry, so I think this shot is wonderful. The way it disappears into the cloud is great. Finally, your choice of black+white is brilliant - it really simplifies the shot and let's the viewer focus on the building and it's patterns. Great work! PS: Composition is also particularly good.

I like the contrast of the old church against the modern sky-scrapers. The shot looks a little soft - perhaps a bit of shake with the long exposure?

Not looking up?

That looks like an interesting cloud formation. I'm guessing your title implies that you were surprised other people weren't interested in it. The clouds are a little overexposed though and the people are a bit dark so I'm not sure what you wanted the focal point to be. If it was the cloud I would have exposed less to keep more detail in them.

I'm surprised there isn't more New Years shots in this challenge. This looks suspiciously like the back of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. I think you could have cropped the bottom edge a bit more to remove the greenish mass in the centre of the frame.

Great work - the colour is great, the expression is good and the composition/framing is very well done. The sharpening is taken too it's limit but I wouldn't say it's oversharpened. Having the person generally lighter than the background works extremely well - but something tells me you know enough about photography to realise that yourself. Great work - at the top end of the results for me.

Not a bad shot - quite dark and gloomy, but that's kind of appropriate.

It took me a minute to get the title - instinct made me look for a bobby somewhere in the shot. Having the car blurred is fine, but it would have been nice if the buildings were sharp. Try a tripod, or at least sit the camera on or against something solid to help you out maybe.

Something tells me that your "City" is a little bit "Country" - but, hey, that's cool. The image looks a bit blotchy and the colour is a little off - perhaps if you could have taken the shot when the sun was behind the camera, rather than behind the sign. I love the inclusion of a person (perhaps yourself even) in the shot!
