Hey Chris,
Just noticed that you recently scored a personal best. Congratulations on a super-cool shot! You are improving at breakneck speed and I'm so happy to see you participating in challenges. Keep up the great work and have a happy holiday season!
First, let me congratulate you on your new personal best. There is a lot about this image that I like, the various shades of blue and gray, the three-dimensional look of the image, and the complex pattern. I do find the lights to be a little distracting but that is something you could not control. The reason you finally broke into the 6's is that you found a subject that strongly meets the challenge and you captured and post processed it extremely well. Although a building wasn't the strongest subject for a perspective challenge, the perspective you used definitely enhanced the subject matter. If this were my image I would try to clone out the lights and then print it for hanging on the wall. Nice job!
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.
Dude! A 6! Woo hoo! I do so like shots like these. Kinda sterile sometimes but this one seems to have life in it. In addition to the cool blues/grays of the glass/steel, you've got the warmth of the orange from the lights. OK, you do architecture well - now branch out and try, umm, different architecture? :-)
