Greetings from the Critique Club!

First off, I have to say that I really like the contrast of your photo! It is very eye catching.

Other than that, the photo is very busy. My eyes don't know what to focus on first. There are a lot of "layers" to your photo, and while it's interesting... it's distracting.

I would have given this a 6 during voting. This one is hard to call. I like it... I don't... I do. I'm confused! haha

yes, I also wanted to explain about the tiny people. it was the idea of course, Olso is all lines, stone and glass, it's easy to get lost there and easy to loose someone. this photo is 100% candid, I was standing on that place 3 days trying to catch this - I knew I would, I had this in my head, I saw this, and then I finally saw them "live". I love this photo.

damn, you can take brilliant candid shots, too?? this is so unfair. I expect a very detailed report from raish on you.

Wow... people screwed up voting big time. Gave this a 10.

To me, this looks like a series of different patterns layered on top of each other. The three people just look like they are trudging along into nowhere. Very nice.

One of my favorite pictures in the challenge. Sorry it did not do better for you. This is a great example of fine art, good mood, and nice symmetry.

i like the way it appears that it's abstract. curious if colorizing part of it would have made it even more interesting. maybe giving it more depth. but i like the shot.

The movement of the three people in the top is brilliant. Excellent lines.

GREAT lines and textures - a veritable feast. Excellent eye. The row of lights at the top is the perfect finishing touch, too.

i love the lines in this shot, very arty, bumping this up one more point
I like the follow my leader aspect in this shout and also the lines that lead you from the bottom of the shot into the area were the people are. well done

Mesmerising

had to tell what your subject is....the people are more an afterthought after the street takes in all the attention
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I see the effect you are searching here, and do like it. However one does not pay enough attention to the three people. It might have been better to higher the framing a bit, and also, the contrast/color difference between those people and the background is not high enough. Still well seen !

Nice possibilities, just a bit too distant from the subject to have a big impact.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The diagonal lines are really cool
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/19/2007 01:50:59 AM
Cool lines. I think I'd probably like less of the foreground area personally.
