Old Country Church Marks the Way Home

Pretty good allround. A touch over-exposed for the whiteness, and your crop has crowded the bottom the image for me. Good colours, pleasant composition.

The Iron Lady of Paris

Made me smile. I like the warm/cold light approach, though here, with this particular angle, I wonder that it doesn't serve to over-accentuate the rigidty of that choice. It has a sense of lacking detail that isn't solely down to the casting of the little model, either - it may be camera, or it may be processing, or it may be a non-tripod shot, or non-sharpening, but it hasn't got that clarity of fine detail, that immediacy.

I guess that depends exactly how far east you're prepared to go, really. I can see the appeal of this light and tonality, which is well captured. I don't get the use of the odd angle, which seems neither a deliberate tilt nor an advantage. I like that you've tried a detail shot, rather than a dull full-on shot of as much of the building as you could get in ... but this seems oddly isolated. I think it's a composition thing: might you still have held the sign as your primary subject, but used the lines of the rest of the frontage, or rather 'some more' of the frontage, to bring the eye more strongly to that subject?

High and Mighty...The Empire State Building
by charmayne

Comment:
Not sure about the perspective distortion, and you angling of the shot to keep the Empire State vretical at such expense to the other buildings. I think that more compsromise would have been acceptable, but that's difficult to be certain of without trying it. There are also tools to help correct such phenomena, though they can be tricky to use.

And something's gone badly wrong ith the processing somewhere, I feel - or even if it's deliberate, it just looks like a mistake. All those jagged lines, and compression artefacts ... and using just under a third of the available data.

Well exposed, and there's good detail, and a good capture of the light. I find the composition very weak however - so centred, so much negative space, so little else to guide the eye, and all of that with a quite 'ordinary' seeming viewpoint - sure, it could be the most difficult view to get at in the world, but we don't know that. You need, I feel, and especially with such architectural shots, to add some element of difference, or of the spectacular, of of the location. the building is interesting - that doesn't automatically make the photograph interesting.

If you come to the Kitimat River Bridge, you've gone to far.

My first thought here is to wonderr why you shot this from this point fo view: it seems to me thhat it doesn't allow us much sense of the bridge at all. The head-high shot means that the intricacies of tthe 'roof' are squeezed into very little space in your shot, and your angle to the thing means thhat the sides are similarly stuck for space - there's almost more road here than brisge, and yet you haven't given much impression of where it is at all - a bridge over what? How big is that river? How deep is the drop? There's a strong sense of the bright colour of it, and that is well done, and the overall exposure is good - low enough for the colour to pop, but not so as to lose detail. Some experimentation with angles would help I think - even getting down on one knee to shoot can give an image just that bit of difference it needs to stand out. Good luck.

Twice? Don't get it ... strong image, good lines, clean, etc. etc.

The Drake

Interesting shot - though your yellows might have been saturated a touch too much for me: that sense of partial over-exposure in the brickwork. The noise in the sky is a pity, though I expect in the building areas it's actually helping you.

a International Landmark we all know

This is a vile vile thing to do to anyone - you deserve censure in the extreme. In fact, you ought to be forced to live on the evil stuff for a month, then see if you'd be so keen on putting up a bloody great picture of the damnable logo. You swine.

Rant over, this is in my opinion the best entry I've seen so far - cunning, beautifully composed, startling, different, and even the border works wonderfully. But I still really really really hope it doesn't get onto the front page. Please, no ... please, no ... but I have to give you an 8, and trust that others wont.
