Your Critique Club moment, Tony. Hi.

My first and overwhelming reaction to this shot was/is 'I wish it were taken from a higher vantage point' - from just about level with the top of that wall would have given you a great contrast with the rest of the stone. Not so easily done as said, I'm sure, but I think it would have added a lot. The way it is, two things bug me: the amount of white sky in the shot - it's really quite a large amount of the image to be simply white; and the scaffolding (if that's what it is), chimneys and that grey building that intrude over the wall - thye pull the eye away from the wall pretty hard.

I don't plainly see an unanswered question - at least no more than I would in perhaps any photo, and I think for me that's what a shot in this challenge had to produce. Here I could be thinking 'why do this to a wall?', or 'do I consider this art?', and only now have I noticed that this a hoarding above a wall, not a higher part of the same wall as the stone. I'd have to guess that your point is along the lines of 'why do some people consider this to be art?' - but it's been a somewhat tortuous journey to get there.

Technically, there's no obvious problems, other than that of composition as I've mentioned earlier: and anyone who can take your weather challenge photo needs no help from me. I get the impression that this is an entry informed by some anger (really am guessing now - but did the Festival Theatre commission the horading painting?) rather than in hope of winning a challenge, though. Good luck in future

Ed

I really like the line of color flowing across the image. The bright white in the top right is a little distracting and I cannot figure out why there is a grey line about it.

what forces drive youth to do this? if they had a canvas and paint provided for them, which would they chose?

I almost took a similar picture - good thing I didn't because yours is way better than mine. 7
