For a score under 5 you sure got your share of comments. That means you make people look, think. That is and must be one of the goals of photography. Even if they feel uncomfortable with the image because it breaks their strict rules of composition and lighting. Even more so.
I'm quite sure this will not score well here, but it gets my vote. I find the foreground blurring in this case very interesting and I think this is a strong image. Don't allow peer pressure to influence your work too greatly. You have a good eye.
A tough shot to take. By leaving the shutter open longer you get a nice night shot of the building, but over-expose the skaters. Less exposure time would have improved the skaters but lost the building.
It seems that the foreground and the building in the backgroud don't match visually. Not that they always have to, but the blurriness and overexposure of the ice and skaters make them look somewhat like ghosts. I find the foreground amusing, yet the background seems to be a serious study. I suppose that kind of contrast would work sometimes, but personally I don't see the need for it here.
Your skaters are horribly over-exposed, whereas the building, in the background, looks good. This doesn't really work, as the skaters are the more interesting of the shot, and end up playing second fiddle to the architecture.
The exposure on the building is very good, but the skaters seem too overexposed to me. (Not sure if / how you could expose both properly at the same time.)
I like the inclusion of "life" in the shot, both by including people in general and also the motion blur. Looks like a tough exposure decision - I kind of like your choice of over-exposing the ice and people to include the buiding better.
Kennedy Plaza!! I like the blurred pedestrians. I'd like the lighting to be a bit more dramatic. It is quite overexposed in the area of the square. Extra point because this is my home turf!
oooh, tough exposure... must have worked a while to get this shot. I like it. I wish that one person in the green top and jeans weren't there, but hey, when you are working with a lot of people that aren't posing for you, you get random actions. Good work!
I found the blow-out of white from the ice really difficult. I know that is what you are trying to capture, it just feels like it was missed slightly. The focus on the buildings in the background really quite good. If it was taken two stops back this wouldn't have happened .. that is the problem with basic editing.
