Fits the challenge subject perfectly, more empty space than we can see. Lens flare adds to the picture the guide the eye into space. Dome does not appear to be totally sharp.
This means a lot to me because of the times I've spent in observatories. It gives me a real feeling of excitement. I understand what you were trying to convey with this photo, although it probably won't have that affect on a wide range of people. Well done though.
This would have been staggering at dusk. The lens flare detracts from the photo, but you get lots of credit for the idea, which meets the challenge technically, and also is a nice play on words. 7.5, which gets rounded up to 8 - mjcecil
Nice title for the shot. I kinda like that lense flare. The observatory is a little soft. You should have told them to poke out the telescope so you could take a picture :) 5
Very nice photo... would have like to see more sharpness on the structure. I think I would have liked this better without the glare. Good job. - bamaster (8)
