::: Greetings from Critique Club :::

Hi, as requested, here is an indepth critique of your submission.

First Impression - the most important one:
It's a neat shot but greyscale comes out a bit flat in the midtones.

Composition:
You used the rule of thirds pretty well and the leading lines help to make a good composition.

Subject:
Subject is clear and composition helps to bring the eyes to it.

Technical (Color, focus, and light):
Color: As I said in my first impression, the greyscale conversion looks a bit flat to me. I really think a color version of this would have worked better.

Focus is sharp and not over-sharpenened in Post.

Light: Other than the highlights teetering on being blown at the bottom of the tower, lighting is pretty good.

To grow its vote?:
There were a lot of highly colored images in this challenge. I think the grey-scale hurt you in the voting.

Summary:
Overall a well compossed shot and interesting photo.

Hope to see more from you soon,
Leroy
