Hello from the critique club

An unappealing image that does not meet the challenge

Well, here you have a street scene of an interrupted image in the taking but we don’t know what has caused the interruption which is often ok because it introduces intrigue but I’m just not feeling that sense of intrigue. The image feels too much like a snapshot, there just doesn’t seem to have been any real thought gone into it. I think the composition may be the reason why, I am just put off by the dominance of that street post that dissects the whole image in two and the sign by it. In what is a predominantly lower key background this high key post just takes over the whole image. As for the challenge itself there is no single strong focal point or key element that reflects the challenge brief effectively enough especially with that post.

Sorry Ryan but I’m afraid this didn’t work for me this time.
