Worship Him From Afarby
RosacalacaComment by geoffb: Hi from the Critique Club,
My first thought when I saw this image was that it has great potential. The exposure is nice, and the perspective is good. I'd like to see the composition cropped a bit tighter, so that the black and white signs on the left and right are the stairs are cut out. By cutting out the archway on the right and the lights at the top, you'd create much stronger lines up to the statue.
Colours are nice in the image, but I'd recommend either increasing their saturation or eliminating colours almost to a black and white.
Most importantly, I think a strong boost in contrast would serve this image very well. The editing ruleset prevents you from selectively dodging and burning or vignetting the edges, but I think a simple curves adjustment layer would have boosted this image to a higher score.
Taking these points into consideration, along with some of the recommendations made in previous comments, I think you have a great image here that could be fixed up and printed. Good job.
Regards,
Geoff
