I hadn’t seen this challenge until Anita told me how yours should have got the blue .. so of course I came to check it out .. WOW .. brilliant result .. and I loved reading your backstory .. :) feel sad about those low votes .. would love to know why .. :( Thanks Roz And Anita, Yes, I would love to hear from the low voters so I can learn how to improve my results in the future.

I gave it a 4 for reasons already explained during the challenge. The flat light seems to be a trademark/style (on camera flash?). I noticed I often make that remark on your images. The images often lack shadow contrast in my view. If I look at the histogram it is often quite narrow. On my phone it looks better but on my calibrated screen the images look often really flat. This aspect often takes 1 or 2 points of my rating.

A perfect place to put a spere on the rocks ;-) I like this image better.

Would it have been better if the photographer would have taken a small step to the left? I feel the man add nice perspective of distance and size, but also blocks the view a bit.

The rough finish works well here.

Nice, but I wonder whether it would have been stronger if the hay bale would not have been there. It draws quite some attention.

Nice and clean. Well balanced. Missing a bit of wow-factor. Still in my top 5.

Very clear and sharp. I wish the background would have been more appealing.

Only now I see that the second image is the head of te dog. I first thought it was water spraying from the jet. The shape of the hand (?) in the top middle is a bit awkward/misformed.

Clever way to show a busy trainstation in one go. Maybe a slightly lower position of the image with the people would have worked even better? They are starting to get lost in the structure of the ceiling.
