Composition - I like the infinite effect, how they are just stacked and stacked. I agree with cropping out the bottom, I believe this would have enhanced the effect more. But the ground also gives you the perspective to go off of.
Technical Quality - I wonder what this would have looked like at different times of day and how much more the buildings would stand out had it been taken at a different time. Semi-sharp and natural looking but the contrast may have been boosted a little more, but that also makes all the shadows darker. Its a strong photo but it doesn't jump out at you.
Meeting the Challenge - Check :)
Creativity - Very original, although many people used cities for their parellel's (how were you to know). I love the idea of multiple and multiple parellel lines. This photo conveys, to me, the blandness of the city and repition, but also the orginization and stucture of it.
Title - Love the suggestion in the title. It makes you wonder, 'Wait, did this photographer count all those!?' But it also makes you wonder if your just making it up. This quality forces people to stop and think about the possibilities of it. Seems like everybody has the same gag writer (Although I can't say that I would have said something different).
Overall - I don't know why this didn't score higher, possibly the technical aspect, becuase I think its a imaginitive shot, but only through the title. That may be one of the weak points, that the photo isn't as good just standalone. The infinite perspective is cool and its a nice portrayal of the city.
