COMPOSITION
The composition is a little too cluttered. The blue bridge and its reflection in the water appear to be the subjects, but there is further construction in the background that appears superimposed behind it. All the boats and buildings on the left and right make for a confusing and busy scene. It certainly qualifies as wide angle with the great expanse of water in the foreground giving the picture a feel of great breadth. I love the bird at upper left. Very nice touch! Too bad the water's a bit dirty directly in front.
TECHNIQUE
Great sharpness, focus, contrast, nothing to complain about at all!
OVERALL IMPACT
While this is a technically excellent photo, it lacks that subjective punch needed to make the viewer stop and stare. I think it's tough for a photo of a busy scene to do that - there is no clear single subject to command attention and become the centerpiece of your pic, and no sense of drama or emotional draw.
Pretty sparse, eh? |
Thanks for one of the best critiques I hav ever had. Very insightfull and helpfull.

| While this photo meets the challenge, just fine, the shot itself seems cuttered and busy. My eye wanders from the boat to the bridge to the reflection, never sure where to settle. |
