I gave this a 2. I did try to look for an 'oops' in this for quite a while (half a minute, maybe = quite a while for the Challenge, usually), but the closest I could manage was the branch of leaves 'oopsed' onto the fencing, to be honest, I went with that and thought it could have been more 'creative'. The quality of the shot itself was good, basically that (and the 'interpretation' just mentioned) is/are why it didn't get a '1' from me. As for your 'intent' here, of the 'focal point', in my opinion, that's a long shot for a viewer to get here during voting on such a Challenge. Your title obviously tried to portray this as well, but again I didn't make the 'connection'. edit:removed temporary note/condensed

You did ok for your first try. I am also new here, and have found that learning this art takes time. I hope you stickaround and keep trying and learning. But always remember to have fun.

Very well-centered perspective on your wide-angle!

nicely captured place, but is that enough to capture "life"?

Composition is ok. The choice of subject matter is ok. The image quality is ok. Could have been a little more creative. - 5

This is a kind of dull view of this city. Perhaps a close-up of one of the older buildings from an unusual point of view?

I like the composition of this image, but the murky contrast pulls it down and makes it much less vivid.

Thanks guys - Shadowvengance, that wasn't quite the reasoning behind the picture, and I fully realized it would score low because it wasn't quite in line with the challenge. I just wanted to get my feet wet at DPC - I couldn't at first understand what people were talking about, 'needing their update fix' etc. After the last week, man, I _fully_ understand! I think I had the DPC home page open on my PC the entire week...

Spooky how empty the street is.

There is something wrong with the focus, and I don't see the oops part in the pic.
