| I am really amazed that only one person caught my misspelling. I didn't catch it til after the challenge started and I just left it go. I'm now punishing myself for it... D-E-M-O-L-I-T-I-O-N!!!!!! |

Greetings from the Critque Club!
Composition:
Your composition is good. The large amount of sky doesn't bother me for this photo. Like some people brought out, giving some of the construction equipment a larger part of the frame would've helped spell out that the demolition was actually _underway_. As it is now, there is no action in the shot, which isn't a good thing, since usually demolition's are quite exciting as things come crashing down.
Lighting:
Your lighting is quite nice. There isn't any areas of the photo missing detail (save the shadows, but they belong there in this photo).
Technical:
Your photo is properly exposed, and is in focus etc. I think your settings are pretty good.
Post-processing:
The desaturation works for this shot. I think it's really personal taste for everyone, and tastes vary. It looks to me like it's overly sharpened, I would've liked to see it a tad softer. If you're using unsharp mask, I would suggest easing off on some of the settings just a touch. Don't want it too soft of course, but not this sharp either.
Overall:
I think you did a great job capturing the challenge theme. My recommendations would be more 'action' in the shot. And also a little bit less sharpening in editing, to make it softer.
I look forward to future submissions! |

| Wonderful title but the picture seems too good for this challenge!..... needs some noise! (better print this out, you will probably never hear that in a critique again) Very nice high contrast shot, and, great to see you took the extra step of making it feel like a real newspaper shot by desaturating. |

| Although I got your point, remember that spelling is key in newspapers. Demolition. |

| Nice pic, looks like a bridge that used to be in my hometown before they built a new one. I'm not sure I like this in black and white. I'm assuming you chose B&W to feel more like a newspaper pic, but I think it would have been better in color because the crane (at least, I'm assuming its some sort of construction equipment) would have "popped" out more. I had a difficult time seeing it. Just IMHO. =-) 6 |

This goes in order of what I notice first:
1) For your title: give me a shot of that machine there on the far right and some beams or the sign on the fence with the bridge in the background. It's too general this way.
2) It's a newspaper photo...sepia?
3) Crop out the sky, why do we need it in a newspaper article about a bridge being demolished?
Score: 4 |

| Nice photo but with all that sky taking up most of the photo, I wouldn't of desaturated it. If not then maybe crop some of that sky out. |

| Pretty good photo (little more contrast would've helped me thinks). Good headline. |
