I can't keep away from the Space Needle, every time I shoot it, I find something new. Shot at 45mm with this lense, raw, rotated adjusted curves, saturation, dodged and burned here and there, USM.

Hello, Greetings from the Critique Club.
As requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission. Please keep in mind this is a personal opinion.

First I want to say I have absolutely no idea what I'm looking at ;-)

The image you're showing is a complex one, full of lines and shapes. That's a thing I find very interesting. The composition is great and well balanced.
There are two things I think could have been better.

- The colors (blue and yellowish/goldish) look nice, but I think bumping up the contrast with an S-curve would have made the colors pop up just a little bit more.
- The image doesn't look tack sharp to me. A bit more USM might have worked, but I'm not sure about it.

Overall I like this image very much, and I think you got a nice score with it.

I hope you've found this critique helpful. Good luck with future challenges!

I believe this is yours Frank as you have mastered the art of reflecting the Needle's magnificent curves and geometry ;)

Very creative take on what usually is an overdone, trite subject. Good exposure, balance and an overall pleasing effect. I really like it.

Beautiful saturation. Seems a bit busy, though.
