I love the bokeh. I wish her expression were something more enticing to look at.

Taking in consideration that this is minimal photography I think you should have done much better with this subject. It looks as if you just took a snapshot to show it was minimal but you could have done much better even if this is a candid shot. Minimal just means very little edit. This would have done better in B&W. I'm giving this a 5.

I do like this one - it's charming, filled with interest because of all the wonderful lines and shapes created by the blocks and play of light and shadow, and the bird is the perfect finishing touch. Congratulations on the HM.

Nice work, Eugene. I like the way you've combined harsh geometric angles with the bird and the narrow tonal range.

Almost looks transparent, like a glass bauble.

Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that contributes well to the challenge

Great viewpoint and composition, a very striking image that immediately grabs your attention, especially the lighting the way it picks out the dominant corner of this quite attractive building. You have made great use of the viewpoint and perspective to create an image with impact, however, I feel there is too much space above the building, I think more of a panoramic format would have worked better thereby accentuating the receding aspects of the building and emphasising the corner even more. Thanks for another interesting entry Eugene.

Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that fully meets the challenge

An excellent interpretation of the challenge brief, the processing has worked well to give a much more convincing result than a lot of HDR I’ve seen in the past. I like the speeding boat and its watery wake the diagonal works really well in terms of its position and binding that portion of the image together. The sky is adorable and I actually like the darkness of the left of the frame, its distinctive shapes work well in terms of the overall image. Another great entry Eugene, well done
