Greetings from the Critique Club
I have shot cityscapes that I would love to post for challenges but once I̢۪ve reduced them they just look too busy but the full size image is quite stunning so it̢۪s rather a challenge to comment on images only seeing a reduced version. I̢۪m going to guess that the full size version of this image is spectacular, however, the reduced 640 does not do it justice.
The image appears flat and the buildings appear too small giving them a sort of toy city look - it appears as if the image has been over sharpened giving it that flat look and boosting the overall saturation. The houses at the base of the mountain range are barely discernable and almost appear to be noise.
The colors in the cityscape are fantastic and really give you a flavor of the Southwest. You maintained a lot of detail in the mountain range and in the city. I think a lower vantage point might have worked better for this image, the cityscape with the mountains as a back drop – perhaps simply showing the colorful buildings against the mountain range without the dead space in the center even though it would eliminate some of the architecture would have worked better – there is a parking garage at the lower right of the frame that may work well from the roof top (the sometimes less is more theory).
I hope this information is helpful in some small way. BTW your portfolio is fantastic love the jaquar entry for the affluance challenge.
Best regards, Michele

| Really like the mountains in the background. They really provide an interesting perspective as the city buildings look miniture in comparison. |

| Nice city overview. This would be nice in a Chamber of Commerce brochure :-) |

| This "feels" very "snapshot-like". It's a very busy photo and there seems to be nothing of any real interest. |

| Wow. That's really bright. A lot going on with no central place to rest my eyes. I don't know what I should be looking at - strange juxtaposition. 6 |

| I really like the colors and composition, but I think you tried to get too much into the picture. All of the buildings are too small and I feel like I have to squint to see them. I like the orange, blue, and white of the buildings against the purplish blue of the mountains. |

Appears over-saturated.
Reminds me of Tucson. I left there 25 years ago, had enough. There were no houses in the foothills, then. |
