Sad image; but the shot works really well. The colours and lines, DOF and sharpness all work really well together with the exception of the much darker lower portion of the shot; this adds a little to much subliminal conflict for my liking; I'd have cropped that section personally. Apart from that, the shot is well balanced and interesting. (7)

I think this picture is good, it would be better if it was cropped, or framed differently. I think if the words weren't cut off at the bottom, etc. it would have a stronger impact.

Wonderful concept and execution. I find myself thrown off by the somewhat crooked composition. 7 sjgleah

the contrast of the words with the contrast/detail of the building really make this very busy and hard to look at

I've been a little overwhelmed with patriotism lately, but this is very nice. It's a great reflection that definitely adds to the image. I like the colors in the reflection. The one problem is the frame on the right side. I think it would look better if you could have figured out a way to get rid of that and just shown the glass, but with the sizing restrictions I'm sure it's difficult. Good work. 8 ~indigo997
