Critique Club

Hi Robert. This is going to be a tough one to critique because I really like it. Oh well, here it goes. I think your score got short-changed as this shot is very tight. All of the elements are the. Focus is perfect, colors are vibrant, yet not overwhelming. The lines are ideal and lead me throughout the image. I see perspective here ...... you tilted this building sideways......go figure. The only fault I can put my finger on is that the shot is very geometric, sterile and cold. You should have placed a damn kitten on one of the balconys. ;-) This is one of those images where I question why we waste our time asking for feedback from the general voters as they simply don't get it. Either way, I like it. Good luck.

Nice rotation! Two aspects of perspective seen here--the receding apartments, and the idea of looking at the buiding from a different view (I also presented my shot at a different orientation than the subject actually is). From the thumbnail, I first thought these were mailboxes, then storage units. Has a futuristic look and feel.

I like how you changed the view to horizontal.

neat perspective, I like the sky. However, I find the shot a little boring.

This is a nice sharp crisp image unfortunately most people will find the subject very boring to look at and pass it by

I don't stay very interested for a long time, but nice perspective.

The rotation adds to the abstract nature. I'll bump you from a 6 to a 7 just for that.

This is a good picture, looks like you shot it somewhere in the middle of the day the sun is a little harsh off the roof, the reflecton is great. I like how you centered the middle beam, good shot.
