Strange I really expected this to score way higher than this, unfortunately so often "different" doesn't do as well here at DPC as it deserves to, I'd have given this at least a 9 for originality and creativity alone and then there's the great lighting on top of that! One nitpick is the halo around the person I think you could have been hit by the voters because of this as it is quite obvious and could have been so easily resolved.

Hmm thought this would score way better than it did, wouldn't have been surprised to see it in the Top Ten - voters are crazy - typically swayed by over saturated landscape shots as usual though whilst other great shots like this get caned :(

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Composition:

Love the scene and overall composition, the angle is great and really adds to the theme.

Technicals:

Are good I'm assuming the flat looking foreground is down to the flare from the lights so there's nothing that could be done about that and obviously the whole would not have the "emergency" feel that it achieves without the light being on and the flare adds to that feeling.

Post-Processing:

Is pretty good I think it could have been improved a little by extending the lens flare over the T-Rex as he is behind the flare, also a little noise reduction on the foreground and then some selective sharpening an some burning might have brought out the foreground and balanced the overall image a bit - also as I said in my message during voting I would have loved to see someone added alongside the ambulance running past it with their arms flailing I really think this could have made an even better picture and who knows maybe even got you your first ribbon.

My Opinion:

I like the idea of this shot a lot - I was one of your 7s and thought you would place in the top ten which you did so you definitely hit it with the voters so well done.

Hope this was of some use, should you wish to discuss any part of the critique further please feel free to PM me.

Good luck in future challenges!
