This image doesn't really require a critique. It scored very well and didn't receive any negative comments. I think it's an excellent image for the Pattern challenge and I wouldn't do anything differently and can't suggest any improvement. Nice work :)
in case anyone is wondering, this shot can ONLY be taken in my hometown...
SINGAPORE ESPLANADE THEATRE!
it has a very peculiar root that is like overlying scales that's geometrically placed such as to deflect direct glaring sunbeams AWAY from the interior of the glass dome structure while keeping the air draft (and the outlook) COOL..it is a feat of architectural wonder that cost more than half a billion to construct and finish over 4 year think
fyi, this shot is taken at a low angle to capture the more 'flare out' scales towards the lower steepes of the roof. my first impression is it look just like a whole lot of Sith Lords with their streaks painted faces looking up out of their hoods straight at the viewer, overwhelming!..hence the title.
Not sure what this image is but it doesn't really matter because the title provides meaning. The light direction adds drama. Very imaginative, great job!
