This would be a much better picture on a different day. Lets just pick a day like June 30th. Sky is utterly depressing as I live in Michigan and I know all about this crappy sky business. Looks like it could be an interesting picture, just not when you took it.
Composition is interesting with the perspective and the symmentry of the bridges. This shot may do better if done in b&w (monotoned) to make the subjects pop out of the shot even more. Dull skies would definitely work better that way.
Compositionally I find this kind of obvious - sure it's an interesting scene, architecturally, and I actively like the irregularity of the lamp-posts, but such a grey day, such very very flat light has wiped out any real interest, visually, from this. Had it been my own shot, I'd either have tried to go back another day, or probably not submitted it. I think it's lacking in mood, is what I'm trying to express.
Good concept for the challenge. Entry has good detail and sharp focus. However, I would like to see more contrast and if the image was more symmetrical I would rate it higher.
Nicely arranged graphics here. 2 problems, the overall greyness - couldn't you have waited for a nicer day? the dullness of the sky depresses the shot, cropping was in order. 5
