 Out and about shooting in Atlanta. I do like the play of the negative space here as it serves to isolate the subject. Perhaps the 'business' of the negative space took it down a bit, but I think it still fits well.

Technicals: sharp, in focus, nice composition. The score (5.5) reflects there are no major problems with the technicals.

The feel: I think the biggest limiting factor is people are confused about what "R star" is. It isn't something they can associate with anything. Is this a store sign? an advertisement? a logo? we have no idea and so it holds less interest to us. I'm not saying it has to be a golden arches or something obvious, but this is too enigmatic.

The game: Good shot, but subtle.

the abstract shapes create a confusing and complex sense of negative space. Good!
