I wish there was a way to get a little more definition in the trees and dome - more windows and spaced branches or something. The silhouette is nice but a little heavy feeling.

Oh no!!

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Excellent interpretation of the challenge, especially as it ribboned, and thus is just that much harder to critique! Great classic studio shot, I admire how well you controlled the whites here and the sense of timing to capture it at just that critical moment of breakage before everything went all over the place is fantastic!

Very simple and effective in lighting and composition, and I too am curious as to how many mugs you and your son dropped :-)

Look forward to seeing more entries from you in the future, keep up the good work.

Susan

nice shot but more about the sky then the mark, and not striking enough as a silhouette. Would like more detail in the building, perhaps an HDR. YMMV, but to me it misses the mark.

Bit of a sharpening halo visible around the top of the dome.

One of my favourites although one (small) niggle is the very hot spot. I wonder if it might have benefited from some of this being cropped out along the top?
