From the Critique Club
WOW!!! I got the WINNER!!! I am sooo impressed :)
This going to be a very short critique, as your postcard is just right, I wouldn't add or take away anything, it's fine the way it is. I read the comments below, to see if I could pick up something to say besides, "Great postcard!", but, no luck.
I love the colour of the sky, the clouds close to the horizon line, the angularity of the buildings - it's a dynamic shot. The shadows on the buildings make it more human. This postcard tells me that I wouldn't want to go to San Francisco to spend a relaxing time by the lake, but I'd go there to DO something, something fun and interesting.
OK, before I type up a bunch more superlatives, I'll quit. Keep up the good work!

| This is an excellent postcard. However, I believe that the border is illegal. How did you do it? |

| Thank you all for your great comments and votes. This shot was taken from the roof where I live. Made some adjustments in PS (levels, contrast, saturation, unsharp mask) and added a text using the Broadway type. |

| "Bless it's pointy little head." Type and border give the whole thing the look/feel of an illustration; works well with this image. |

| The use of text here clearly enhances, rather than detracts from this shot. The border does well to stay out of the way of a clear, bright and superb shot. Excellent work. I wouldn't change anything - 10. |

| Love the geometry of this shot. It's all about triangles and squres in my eyes, not just buildings. Loeve the text. Really goes well with the image. Jacko. 9 |

| I really like how you placed the tall building and I like the transparent border. The text works well also. The only bad thing I can see is the lower shadows on the buildings to the left, but that is nitpicking. GREAT postcard!!! |

| On a cloudier day I'd say that text would be very fitting, however with a nearly perfect blue sky that text seems very out of place in this picture. A gradient with more blue in it might have looked better... The image itself looks great. The only bad thing about it si the sahdows on some of the buildings, a different time of day might have corrected this. Overall I'd have to say well done. it loooks good. |
