Greetings from the CRITIQUE CLUB!

At first glance, this photo is intriguing and interesting visually. The fact that it's very hard to tell what the subjet is is not a problem at all and the photo can be seen and interpreted on many levels which brings this photo in the abstract category. Its composition is very well done. The lines pointing to the orange circle works extremely well. The crop is excellent and the two larger sections on the right really add something to the visual quality of the photo. The orange color on blue is interesting as well.

Shot at a lower ISO would have surelly helped to reduce the high grain especially noticable in the orange and shadows on the white areas. Also, the photo doesn't seem to meet with the challenge. There is no indication that it was shot from above. The blue seems to be the sky and therefore indicates that it was shot from bellow. Wether ot not it was the case, the simple fact that as a viewer there is not way to know is enough to conclude that it doesn't meet with the challenge.

Original shot. Very nice composition. Excellent effort. Would get a 7 on its own when not considering the challenge theme. Rates under 5 when considering the challenge.

Umm. You've got really nice color up there, nice orange and white, nice blue sky, but I think you were supposed to be UP THERE taking a photo DOWN HERE to meet the Challenge.

Can't tell the angle is from top or bottom but I like the contrast colours and the composition. Good job

Is this looking down? Is the ground blue? It seems as if it is taken from the ground looking up at the sky.
