First of all, congrats on the new personal best. Very well done.
My thoughts on the image: This was one of my favorites during voting for this particular challenge. The wide angle, deep depth of field, and point of view are all spectacular. Your cloud cover and bright sunshine adds a wonderfully dramatic feel to the image as well.
My ideas for improvement: I may have adjusted the crop just a little tighter on the left hand side, but that would have been one of the only things I could even imaging changing.
Where I would have/did score this entry: I did vote on this challenge, and...no surprise now...I was one of the 12 voters that believed that nothing needed changing or adjusting with this particular capture. This is a beautiful capture and a well-deserved finish. Congrats.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric
what I find particularly special about this image is that it almost looks as if the clouds themselves are decaying. This is a great photo. My favorite of the challenge.
Amazing how you've managed to capture such ugly subject matter so beautifully. Details and composition are wonderful, as are the colours. I really love the cloudscape, and that you've managed to capture "urban decay" without graffiti featuring as a significant item (seems rare in this challenge). Great image overall, and I reckon this should finish in the top 10.
I think you have succeeded wonderfully in depicting the decay that goes un-photographed by typical landscape photographers. It adds so much meaning that it is shot in the traditional landscape mood and with great landscape techniques. One cannot avoid the message.
I wish the buildings were a little closer to view properly, otherwise I'm mainly stuck looking at the foreground. The blacks in the clouds on the right are a little weird for me when compared to the left side. No vote, I'm in this one.
Wow, this hits the mark. Great perspective, nice use of wide angle, nice sweep of the block. My personal opinion, the sky looks great but for me it doesn't "fit" with the image of urban decay.
