Aperture: f9.5

Daring Crop.
Red Saturation, contrast.
Size for web, sharpen.

Taken at the old Heywood Building in Gardner MA, the Park Street Side behind the library. Not really "city" like most people think of it, but it was a heckofalot closer than Boston was and on a briskly cold day with kids in tow - I wasnt going farther than that. :)The sky is screaming for some cloning of sensor dirt and to have those clouds dodged and burned a little.... have to wait till after the challenge though and do an outtake.

I was the one who gave you the 10. I really liked this picture. It was very different from all of the other entries. It was very refreshing to come across this image during the challenge.

Right up there she blows.

I like the use of composition in this photo and the simplicity of it.

Hmm i'm not really sure if this meets the challenge description or not. Either way, you should try tilting the image CCW slightly to straighten up the horizon.

Nice artistic interpretation of this shot. I like the rich blue and red/brown in the shot. Well done. There appears to be a spot in the top-left corner of the sky (about 20-50 pixels in) - perhaps dust on your lens / sensor?

there's too much sky in this photo

I've seen this technique many times before, only, it's usually with the tops of people's heads, rather than the tops of buildings. This shot doesn't work very well, especially in regard to the ("city-life") theme.

I think it is a bit too much sky.

Narrow perspective seems confining here and sky not interesting enough to justify so much real estate in the picture

i wouldve liked this better if the horizon wasnt slanted. good use of negative space.

i like this. i like the red against the blue, and i always love long shots like this, cool cropping

Title would work better if the smoke stack was at the very top, with only a tiny bit of sky showing. As is, I read "searching to find..." and think, "wait...it's 80% of the pic...what's to search for?"

I like the composition and the colour. It looks like you have some sensor dust on your sensor on the top left hand corner

The composition needs a little work. The subject matter could have been better. The image quality is ok. - 4

I like this shot, the color of the bricks is great, the only thing that bothers me is that it should be tilted 1 or 2 degrees to the right.

what a great shot!

The only thing better would be to actually have smoke reaching up into the sky. I didn't mark you down though. I like it very much.
