Hi. Nice crowd shot, well-conveyed. Wonder how it would look with the contrast down one peg. The sepia tones work well. Thanks.

I was getting so sick of fireworks shots but this one is exceptional. Contrasts, hues and composition all work for me. Love the dark figures in the foreground, the crispness and spareness of the fireworks and particularly, the juxtaposition of the white center of the red firework and the glow of the cross (despite not being religious, haha). Also like how flat and painted the church looks, beautiful building too. Nice work.

Might wish for more anima but your composition and clarity won me over. Crisp and clean.

Nice amount of contrast - makes it misty, like a memory. Great use of space and flawless focus. Cute kids don't hurt neither! Good answer to challenge. Well done. Thanks.

Complicated! Wonderful! Contrast is at perfect level, I think if it were any more, my eyeballs would revolt. I like the ambiguity of the era depicted. There is a seriousness to this photo, but all the different patterns give it a whimsy too. Excellent. Thanks.

The realism of this shot is what gets me. Good choice of scenes. Flat, stark and dank. My eye likes those horizontals in the foreground leading to the verticals in the background. You made a busy shot work well. Apt title. Nice going!

Hi. Reminds me of NJ's Meadowlands. Perfect level of sharpness and great contrasts throughout. Swirling crop-circle shapes in the center with verticals in foreground and background. I love the composition and the loneliness of this photo. Thanks.

Not looking up?

Hi. My guess is that the title is hooked into why you used this perspective and left the sky uncropped, but for me, the scene is too subtle to illustrate it. I feel a little frustrated by the lack of focal points and mesh of heights on the ground. Will be interested to read what you'd set out to do. Thanks.
