Critique Club Comment:
Less is more... I really like the clarity of the houses in the shot. I really like the row right in front, and the shadows on them. I wonder if a cropt that excludes all the sky except enough for the tall building and a crop of your roof top so that this is a 16 x 9 format, would add a more dynamic feel to this shot? I see that you adjusted levels, but have you concidered doing curves, contrast and hues? You might be surpised what these tools can do to help an over cast shot. I have several that I almost tossed until I learned what PS can do for me. I'm not saying every picture needs it, and this may not, but with the tighter crop and some more contrast you could really make the view wonder what is happening in the houses with the cars in from of them.
Your sharpening is good and save for web. This is a nice photo that with maybe another camera angle to remove some of the foreground, could be a great shot.

| Houses as far as the eye can see:) Isn't that sad. Since the sky is overcast, it would be better to show less sky, and more buildings. Nice vantage point. Jacko. |

| The colors of this photo are really bland and flat. A better day would've helped a lot to bring colors out. The roof that you took this from should've been cropped out IMO. I think I'm interested in the buidings right in front of you more than anything else in the pic. - Inspzil |

| Crop bottom to eliminate ugly AC unit on roof. Nice winter scene of prosperous suburbia. |

| Nice shot, I'll be interested to see where this is! The high rise building really makes the shot. |

| Another interesting shot would be to zoom in on just the row of houses in the foreground that are all nearly identical. Great vantage point! |

| Needs a little more cropping at the bottom to get rid of the air conditioning unit. Other than that, seems to be a nice clear shot. |

| I think I would have cropped off the air-conditioning unit at the bottom, otherwise a good picture. |

| I guess I find this photo as boring and repetitious as the houses it depicts. |
