This is the top of an Icelandic mall. The light inside the glass goes gradually from white to blue, to yellow, to purple, to orange and back to white. First I wanted to capture the purple color for the secondary colors challenge, but ended up with it in the primary one. No major changes were done to the colors.

Greetings from the Critique Club, Haraldur :)

Composition: I think the landscape format is ok, but I agree that putting the subject off-center would be a good idea. Somehow it doesn't look right the way it's now. The structure is "leaning" a bit to the left, out of the center of the image. Putting it on the right side it would "lean" toward the center.
Another change I personally would like to see is a bit _more_ negative space of the sky, i.e. a more wide view (zoom out).

Lighting: Great! This is the best part of the photo. I love the blue. The mix of natural lighting at evening and the glow of the glass thing is great. You wrote you wanted to capture the light when it was purple. I think it was a good decision to.It fits to the blue of the evening sky and this makes it more pleasant to look at because it doesn't distract from the clover neon sign.

Focus: As far as I can see the focus is good.

Challenge: Yes, the challenge was met.

Creativity: A good eye recognising alll three primary colours but the lighting you used makes this photo special.

Ok, that's it. I hope it helped you.

This was my first submission to a members challenge, and also my first 6+ grade. Wasn't sure if I should send it, glad I did.

I wouild have rather seen this in portrait format. Other than that this is fantastic, those blues are awesome.

cool shot. i would have tried to fill the frame more with the subject. failing that, put that whole building thing 'off-center'.

I like it. I wonder what it would be like with some of the empty space either side cropped away? Interesting building - what is it?

i don't mind the subject too centered, love the blue background ,it helps hold the subject in place........ primary colors in the center ties everything together coz it holds the viewers attention right where u intended them to look......

I find the subject a bit centered. Otherwise I like it.

excellent primary color shot... I think it would have been even stronger as a vertical shot which would have allowed you to not be 'dead centered' and fill more of the frame...

A bit over-saturated!? Good job though!
