This is very cool. I like it. I do feel that the picture seems a bit tilted. Actually it is causing a type of Vertigo. Hmmmmm.

What is the reflection in the window? Looks like a river.

I think the color is nice. I would have liked to see more light on the window.
the spraypainted gate is unatractive.

This is a good shot. I do think the focus is a little soft. Wonder if that is just from the Building itself.

Formal Consideration:
How well were the technical possibilities utilized? For what you had to work with here I think you did a fine job. Get any closer and you would have have had your eyes gouged out.

Does this photo convey a message?
I think this shot does convey a message, but not one of Humor

Color and Tonal Balance:
I think the colors in this shot could have been brought out a little better. This image is in color and it is attractive, but I think the Color could have been enhanced with a bit of a fill light. I know how hard this shot had to have been in fear to scare him off, but a nice diffused fill would have set the colors off greatly in my oppinion. What does this shot look like in Black and White?
It must be very dramatic.

Composition:
I think this image is framed ok for the subject matter. Personally would have put a little bit more background to his left which would move his head to the right a little. I think this image draws your eye to his eye and that is very important.

Conclusion:

What you have here is a photo that deserves a better score just based on complexity alone. I would assume that the challenge it was entered it took a toll on the shot. With a little change in the color and maybe the hue of this shot, you have somthing you can hang on your wall which is what I base all my oppinons on. I call it wall appeal.

That is just an afterthought.

Does your subject grab your attention? Yes

Sharpnes:Good
Is the sharpness important? Yes for this shot it is.

Exposure:I believe the exposure is done very well here.

Composition: I believe the compositon here works well. Of course the eyes will go to the brightest object in the photo so the white gate is a good addition to the shot. The fence on the right side veers my attention a little but the white of the Gate refocuses to the center of the shot. It is a landscape. These are difficult to do since not every landscape is breathtaking to say the least. You did well by limiting the sky in this shot. Under certain Rules of composition you want to eithier have a lot or a little Sky. For the landscape that it is, I think you did a good job with Depth and that is what is important about the Fence that runs down the right.

Overall I think this is a good technical shot with good intentions. It would take me a while to think about how I could do this shot better. My conclusion right now is that I can not.
