Lake Street, bit west of the loop in Chicago.

Glad this did fairly well. Alternate were to recreate the winning tree shot from the last Rhythm challenge or submit one of a dozen glitzy building shots. Left the whoring to my betters and went with what I like to shoot.

I did try to crop myself out of having the van in the shot, but it just destroyed the impact of the scene. As it is, I burned that van way, way down. It was unbelievably bright in the scene.

Beautiful vanishing point shot. Great rhythm in the street and overhead. Nice work.

I didn't even notice the van until I read your notes. The angle and lines in this just captivated. A wonderful image, of course.

I like the perspective and the tilt adds to it.

The angle really works here and gives a real sense of motion and rhythm.

Nice shot, a bit busy for me... You were right to shoot it at an angle, it makes the image more dynamic.

I love the angle of this. I don't think this image would have been half as strong if you had done it straight. Good luck.

Rhythm: 4/5
Picture: 4/5
Comments: Feels like you almost popped a snapshot here, but damn it worked, loving the light/shade. Good luck :)

Edit: My snapshot comment does not reflect the quality of the picture, it was more of a "Did he/she just cross the street and happen to see this really cool frame?"

i would have given this a 10, it is amazing, very sharp, and seems to draw the eye in, even suck the eye! i'm sure it was because of challenge editing limitations anyway, but that white van is very distracting, so i'm afraid you will have to make do with an 8 :)

would be good to see the image after the challenge minus the van, maybe a square crop would look good?? well done!
