I like the gritty, off-center look.

I'd prefer a brighter image. As it is, I don't get the impression of a night city scene, I get the impression of a blackout.

I like the gritty, grainy feel to this pic, but it is a bit out of focus.

I'm not sure what the focal point of this shot is, and I'm not sure what message it's trying to convey.

I think I get the grainy, dreary feel you were going for, but it's not a very good shot, and it doesn't really incorporate the feel well. Honestly, it looks more like something hastily you snap off with your camera-phone.

Like the perspective/contrast between above and below; dark and grainy though, lacks definition

I really like this shot. The contrasts and different elements are very interesting to look at. IMHO a slightly higher exposure may have added to the photo. But that's just me, nice shot nonetheless

Very grainy photo. Would have scored higher if a little sharper.

Like the grain

I like the grain and the (limited) color, but don't like the camera tilt.

too dark, too grainy

more saturated colors would make this stronger, saturate your colors in post processing
