A visit from the critique club :)

This photo does not really do much for me. Sure, it meets the challenge but it does not engage me. The focus is a bit off. The image looks soft. There's also noise in the sky.

The exposure is pretty good. I would like to have seen several different angles on this.

Composition: Would have cropped the sky either side of the tower fairly tight myself.
Technical: Not perfect focus, but I guess that's due to distance.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: I like architecture, but is lacking interest slightly, for me. Shape of the pic really gives a snapshot quality (sorry). Always worth considering cropping. 6

I like how the lines in this photo draw your eye upward. There is too much negative sky space.

I am seeing some noise in the sky part of your picture, and I suspect that could cause the tower to look slightly out of focus. If you haven't used it, NEATIMAGE does a wonderful job with noise in a photo.

Beautiful tower. The light is good and the cropping is ok. The focus appears to be a bit soft, especially on the clock itself. It seems to loose focus as you go up the tower. The bottom appears to be ok. Nice shot, just need a little better execution.

This photo does contain a square, but I don't think that it is a good representation of the concept. The picture doesn't seem to be too creative. It is a very nice photo of a clock tower.

Good picture, but not much originality.

Perhaps a vertical orientation would have helped. This photo also seems too soft.

you have a good idea here but you have to much negative space in you photo. Good work however.

You did a good job finding a subject to photograph. The square really doesn't stand out very well. Good work.

It is a bit out of focus and a little too centred. If it was moved a bit to the right, it would draw more attention. jgillard5

Would have been nice if you could get a full on shot of just the clock face.

Would have liked to be closer in to clock face. A square shaped image may have helped too.

Terrible.. No squares and the sky is bad. The pic looks like you cropped in on a tiny clock tower that was a spec on the original picture.
