(Finally) Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club
First Impression: A rather tenuous title for me though I might have missed the Orchestra bit in this pic? This might never be seen hanging on somebodies wall but the more I view it the more pleasing both the colours and texture are.
Composition:At first the slighty wonky wall bothered me but its a great off centre divider between the tunnel and sign. I like the amount of tunnel, not too much and not too little - just right for me and think you'd have scored higher in the tunnel/cave challenge (even though I much prefer the image you settled on. Everything here fits well.
Subject:
Technical:At F2 you kept the 2 sides of the wall and tunnel in a nice sharp focus and let the foreground blur. Good detail in the tunnel and the overall exposure is spot on for me.
Final thoughts: Well, I like it and guess there is no need to tell you that the majority of voters were not as welcoming.
Don, this came up for a critique but can't do it tonight and it will dissapear after rollover so am leaving a comment to register and will pop back tomorrow to critique :)
Love the colors here, and the textures. The sign does appear to be levitated. Perhaps that is the 'magic'. I think it was lost on most voters though. The image is great, I think the voters just didn't connect it well with the challenge.
