I like the mood that you've captured here, but the foreground is a bit too distracting, and the halo effect around the roof looks over-processed. Was that a result of the natural lighting or post-processing?

You're taking the concept of "building" a bit far, but this is beautifully shot and I like the conceptual link to the challenge. I suspect you'll get dinged a lot for "not meeting the challenge" but I applaud your approach. A few nits: a wee bit more depth of field to bring the outside back of the shell in focus (although I like the inside of the shell being out of focus, so this might not be possible), and get rid of the spot in the shadow to the bottom left of the shell.

The Flag in the 'Old Arcade'

Thanks for including the link to this in your comment of my photo. This is beautiful and certainly deserved a much better score. The symmetry is great and I love the pattern of lanterns along the side. The flag is crisp and beautiful. Thanks for sharing it.

I really like the composition of this. For me, anyway, the empty ice at the bottom really adds to the image.

Sitting on the Bridge

This didn't quite work for me. I think if you had raised the camera just slightly to provide a horizon, but still hide the person's face, it would've drawn the focus to the person more. I do love the texture of the wood on the bridge, though.

The angle really helps with the off-balance feeling, and I think the wide white border was a great choice. Without both those elements, this wouldn't have been quite a good. Nice work.

I would have like this more with a level horizon. Still, the color and mood is great.

Man, do you have some anger issue?!? Great shot (I don't dare say it sucks)!
