Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.
First Impression - the most important one: What a lucky capture to have had for this challenge :-) Definitely not a typical shot here.
Composition: Composition is ok. I think it works well for this image.
Subject: The subject stands out well from the wooded background.
Technical (Color, focus, and light): Focus seems ok. Light is pretty good, but the blue tint to the shadows in the trees is a bit distracting. I'm thinking this was probably a Haze issue with UV light. I think you could have taken care of that with slective color in photoshop.
To grow its vote?: The color issue probably could have grown its vote a little, More agressive editing could have made this shot more dramatic.
Summary: I really think this shot is cool. And am glad to see that it scored reasonably well in this challenge. NICE CAPTURE!
What? Is that actually being blown up? Awesomee moment you captured there, I love the detail inthe smoke and in the birds flying away and all that. Image quality could be a bit better though, seems a bit flat and could use some boosting in the contrast but the moment is superb, it got an 8 from me.
Well composed and exposed stop-motion capture. I think that it fits into the challenge nicely, but I'd like to see it with a bit less haze. A slight curves adjustment would have helped out a great deal.
Hmmm so I guess you are saying Nuclear Power is a failure? Does this shot represent nuclear power as failure? Not really. If you would have had a shot of the Chernobyl plant in the Soviet Union and it's effects on the area and titled it accordingly then I would have voted 6 - 10 depending on the shot.
However...this shot will get a score from me based on the technical aspects of the shot only.
oh no! awesome capture, I wish the photo had more contrast and wasn't lightened up so much, but you probably had to do this to bring out the picture as this was probably a very quick capture, nice composition and good focus though, nice work
thinking the jury is still out- interesting photo though- imagine it was tough to decide the cropping because i can't decide if i like what i see or not
