Good "City Life" shot! Maybe if you zoomed out a little the left player wouldn't be cropped. This would also show a little more of the surroundings and thus stressing the contrast between the city (skyscrapers) and the "life" (players) more. Photo 8, Creativity 7, City Life 10 = 8
This looks nice in color, but black and white or sepia looks cool too. My only suggestion would be to have a horizontal frame so that there are more of the ball players. The buildings provide a nice backdrop, but I think since the subject is the boys, it would be better not to crop their hands off.
Nice photo, but the aspect seems wrong....Did you stretch this image (just a little)? I like the clock tower reflection in the blue building, cool. Photo 8 City 8 total 8
Great photo for this challenge. You captured something a lot of people have struggled with. Strong in the areas of composition, action shot, and colours.
I like your subject very much. Your exposure and shot timing were also good. Unfornatually, when you resized your picture you didn't maintain the aspect ratio, so it appears a little compressed horizontally.
Seems a little distorted? Was that intentional? That aside, nice image quality. The scene is accentuated with the large buildings in the back. Good job
Good capture. Another position might have been prefered. Did you have a chance to take multiple pictures or were you forced to take 1 and run? If you could have taken more you may have gotten some better shots.
