 religion, in this case the Central Synagogue in Manhattan, has its fair share of superstitions; the CitiBank Building in background is an urban legend in the american capitalist sense and has recently been targeted according to city officials by terrorists (thus may earn even more \"legend\" status).

This photo was too small for me to judge properly. Size does matter in this case.
 07/02/2006 02:27:03 AM
Good thinking.
 07/02/2006 12:31:02 AM
Much too small...sorry, it may be a great shot, but who can tell.
 07/01/2006 06:39:03 PM
Nice shot...wish it was bigger
 07/01/2006 12:03:33 PM
That's pretty small to try to judge.
 07/01/2006 10:12:21 AM
Too small to see what you're showing well.
 06/30/2006 11:10:22 PM
I don't understand the superstition or the urban legend here. Feel free to pm and explain. Image is too small - you'll get voted down for this.
 06/30/2006 02:23:50 PM
You'll get a lot of comments on your pic being too small. That's too bad. Hope you found how to make it bigger.
 06/30/2006 01:52:17 PM
Yeah! Good concept and the separation of which is now an urban legend, isn't it. Very creative. I wish the picture itself was bigger. I used to submit small pictures too, until I found this: tutorial link. Good luck.

I like the social commentary, and I'm sure you'll read the bring it to 640 pixels, but it helps
 06/29/2006 07:15:19 PM
I'm sure that by now you've been given the link to the sizing tutorial :)
This appears to be a great shot, crisp and clear, and I love the perspective and composition. It's hard to give a better critique tho', without being able to see more detail, sowwy.

Umm...This pic is WAY too small, imo. And did you digitally put that church in? because it seems to have color, while everything else is b/w. Although there are legal ways to do this in basic editing, this just doesn't seem like it to me.
 06/29/2006 07:13:54 PM
Interesting idea. Well composed. I'm sure many people told you to make the image bigger... that allows the voters to see it better.

Why so little! WHY!?!?
 06/29/2006 01:55:18 PM
The picture is too small and i don't think "church and state" refers to any superstition or urban legend. Plus there is desaturation which is forbidden. 2
 06/28/2006 08:16:01 PM
Too small.
 06/28/2006 05:17:56 PM
I'm sure others are going to say it. Look up the tutorial for resizing shots. Small shots like this always get a low score, so don't let the score get you down on this one. The lighting is harsh on this one and the applicability to the challenge is quite subtle. The separation of church and state is a myth?
 06/28/2006 04:07:30 PM
too small
 06/28/2006 02:57:04 PM
this may be very nice. but its so hard to tell for sure at this image size.
 06/28/2006 01:45:06 PM
Awesome shot, but I personally don't see how it is a superstition or urban legend. However, it looks to be an amazing photo and I wish it had been sized to the full 640 px so I could see more detail. :)

This pic really need to be in full size. Didn't quite work for my in this size
 06/28/2006 01:11:06 PM
neat pic, but way too small
 06/28/2006 11:48:10 AM
I wish photo would be a little larger :/ Nice idea, and shot though. 7
 06/28/2006 11:00:10 AM
Don't care for this image, it doesn't sell the idea to me very well, and it isn't a superstition or urban legend.
 06/28/2006 09:15:15 AM
Very nice image. So small can't get a good look at it!
 06/28/2006 08:39:48 AM
Sized incorrectly. 1
 06/28/2006 08:14:52 AM
nice. preview a bit small to get full effect.
 06/28/2006 01:07:06 AM
I don't see how this fits. I'd like to see it bigger too!
 06/28/2006 12:45:24 AM
Nice shot. Would have loved to see it bigger.
