[Critique Club]
Composition - I like the infinite effect, how they are just stacked and stacked. I agree with cropping out the bottom, I believe this would have enhanced the effect more. But the ground also gives you the perspective to go off of.
Technical Quality - I wonder what this would have looked like at different times of day and how much more the buildings would stand out had it been taken at a different time. Semi-sharp and natural looking but the contrast may have been boosted a little more, but that also makes all the shadows darker. Its a strong photo but it doesn't jump out at you.
Meeting the Challenge - Check :)
Creativity - Very original, although many people used cities for their parellel's (how were you to know). I love the idea of multiple and multiple parellel lines. This photo conveys, to me, the blandness of the city and repition, but also the orginization and stucture of it.
Title - Love the suggestion in the title. It makes you wonder, 'Wait, did this photographer count all those!?' But it also makes you wonder if your just making it up. This quality forces people to stop and think about the possibilities of it. Seems like everybody has the same gag writer (Although I can't say that I would have said something different).
Overall - I don't know why this didn't score higher, possibly the technical aspect, becuase I think its a imaginitive shot, but only through the title. That may be one of the weak points, that the photo isn't as good just standalone. The infinite perspective is cool and its a nice portrayal of the city. |

| Very nice idea. I'd like to see it a bit sharper, with a little more contrast. Otherwise well done. 7 |

| I like the overall concept and the way that all the buildings appear at an angle but theres almost too much activity in this. It's hard to focus on one spot. I do like the building that suddenly goes solid half way up. 7 |

| Very well framed and full of parallel lines. Very nice image though I might like to see a little more contrast to it, but that might be hard without creating hot spots in the picture. |

Hmmmmm....I only count 1,784,382... But seriously, your shot seems vey well composed, but very flat. Taken at a different time of day, with the light and shadow emphasizing the textures, would make this pop a lot more!

| I counted them and I got a different result. Never mind. You have found just the right viewpoint. I don't suppose there are too many cityscapes with quite that number of parallels. |

| I really like this picture. If it were cropped a little more on the bottom so that you couldn't see the ground, the photograph would have a never ending effect. I really like the lighting. I also like the slight haze that surrounds the city. Very nice. One of my favorites - 10 |

| Good idea. The colortones and contrast isnt very high but maybe its better that way. Gives you the feeling of carpolution or some misty soft focus. |

| Very good meeting of the challenge. The lines of the buildings make the shot. This picture would have been better with a bit more contrast. |
