Greetings from the Critique Club
by strangeghost

COMPOSITION
An interesting perspective to be sure. You've created an interesting set of lines that lead out of the bottom of the image and converge toward the center/top. There might be a bit too much space at the top, give the pic a bit of a bottom-heavy feel. I like architectural shots a great deal but this one feels a bit blase' to me.

TECHNIQUE
Looks like it might have been a night shot with a long shutter, but I'm not at all sure about that. The muddy tones are unique but also ultimately unsatisfying, IMO. Coupled with the slight softness and noise/grain (especially in the sky), it has a fairly sloppy look to it. Then there's the very blown-out section of the building near the center.

OVERALL IMPACT
This shot doesn't grab me with visual impact. It has a haphazard look and feel that I think turned off many voters, as suggested by your final score of 4.7. Without any photographer's comment from you, it's difficult to critique further. For future reference, anything you can tell about your intent, your methods, or your own feelings about a picture aid immeasurably in the process of a critique. Feel free to let the voters/viewers know what you were angling for in a photo.

the perspective is there, but the phot lacks crispiness: contrast, focus etc. Perhaps the light was just bad for it - you have a blown out top of the building and a very low contrast near the bottom.

The fact the sunlight isnt uniform from top to bottom breaks up the perspective for my eye. Interesting photo though.

Interesting picture. Great perspective. The only thing is the "shine" on the wall that is distracting.

Clever idea, though the picture is a bit out of focus. Good perspective.
