Just spotted this one of yours, not only do I like the photo a lot but I think your comment on it is very profound and so very true, to live like that would be bliss.

Critiquing.

I cannot fathom why this placed so low. I think the majority of voters did not take the time required to really look at this image.

The use of lines is intense in the image. Parallel and seemingly nonsensical lines come together to direct the eye through the image in an almost effortless fashion. Something about the lines I didn't like was perhaps the use of too much sharpening? The heavy black lines that encase the outlines don't harmonize with the overall softness of the image.

The woman with the high cheek bones creates a contrast. There is something so...otherworldly...so old world about her that juxtaposing her against the race of modernity makes viewers question...stare longer at the overall story behind the image. In addition, her melancholic expression perhaps communicates her disappointment with society.

I'm guessing you lost points because of the blankness of the sky and the blur & grain. However your composition is spectacular. Your image definitely deserves another look.

I know this is good, and not just for skylines.

This appears to be more of a snapshot with the subject being about the girl and the vehicle instead of the skyline (even though she is out of focus). Your title says jagged blue yet it is a b/w photo so there isn't any blue at all. I think I see your intent though. The building roof makes a jagged line revealing the sky above it. But the photo still doesn't seem to fit the challenge very well to me. Sorry.
