Im not a fan of the softness but won't score it down for you may have intended the image to be that way! 8

Not really digging the softfocus look on this one but other than that, pretty good.

Interesting sets of intersecting lines.

Well executed. Love the composition. 10

Mmmm, Chicago... lovely soft focus on this.

That's pretty good...nice exposure for the outside -- I wonder if this would be better with some fill, or later in the day though...

It bothers me that all the verticals aren't vertical, I'd have fixed this with the 'distort' tool in PS. More striking silhouttes could have complemented this effective background. Great colours.

good photo, but doesn't reach me nor move me. I have no suggestions or ideas of how to remedy that, since the photo is quite good, but simply leaves me cold. better luck next time.

nice although the gothic blur seems to defeat the purpose of sharpness in this one. i would have preferred sharper rather than artistic in an entry like this.

You have great talent, my dear friend, great talent, within you.

Good composition.

Like the concept of this image a lot. Good silhouette creates a thoughtful, reflective mood. The background might be a little too soft focused. It has an artificiality to it that almost distracts from the composition. You might try working on the sky a bit with dodge and burn to tone down the brightness of the sky some and make the clouds more dramatic.

Nice cityscape with window framing, in my opinion the people add interest. Well done and good luck

cool shot, wish the outside had just a touch more contrast.
04/25/2006 09:37:18 PM
Nice shot

Very nice scene. My only pick is that it'd be nice if the column wasn't coming out of the top of the woman's head but maybe that couldn't be helped.
