I find it interesting that you only find compliments helpfull, a negative comment no matter how well thought out and reasoned is not helpful: yet " A winner" is helpful. I guess some people only respond to praise. Usually the better photographers have thicker skin, and take a crit as a method of understanding what others saw in their work. Nice job. You have a distinctive style. I will try to refrain from wasting further comments on it.

Excellent high key image, a genre very close to my heart, done to perfection.

i'd love to know how you did this..

White makeup? selective desaturation? Two pictures blended together?

I noticed this got DQ'd in Chocolate for the date of pic. im more concerned how you were able to do this with following the basic rules...

Without the title this doesn't represent balance at all. And with the title I still can't see much balance also the frame is a little bold.

This could have more power...possibly crop the white sign out all together; dodge/burn the clouds for definition and emphasis; adjust that shadow on the foreground building; maybe bring out the color in the bricks a tad more. Good foundation; needs tweaking. :o)

I really think you had a great subject and a good eye for it initially. I think this shot would have done better (IMO) as a square. Try cropping it just above the white billboard and then make the height match the width and see how it looks. I think it would make a fairly powerful statement with the deep cerulean sky just above the faded out words.

Comment by C-town driver:
Very elegant subject with composition to match. I like the simplicity of this shot and how it implies balance using lines and shapes. One element I found distracting though is the robust border that seem to draw attention away from the main subject. That's only personal taste though, so great shot nonetheless.
