GREETINGS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB

Hello! It is my turn to say "Welcome to DPC." I see you have only been a member for a few months and already you have a ribbon! Congratulations.

Also, I salute your courage in getting out on a windy night, setting up a tripod and working hard to find an image for this Perspective Challenge. Had it been raining as well? Anyhow, I think that if you had gone for a longer exposure, your tripod would have had wind movement and the subject might be blurry.

In any event, your comments tell you that your image is quite dark. Actually, it is dark and mysterious. Oh, for a hooded figure in the foreground to add to the mystery. Had you converted this to black & white, you certainly could have made it more readable, but then you would have lost the mystery.

So, about all I can say is: "Good Try!" This one didn't work for the viewer/voters but your next one might.

Keep 'em coming. I h ope this little critique was helpful to you.

Alice

Would like to have seen this a little less dark but the perspective is well achieved with the lights.

I like how the lights lead you to the blackness. It does seem just a bit too dark for me though.

Beautiful star shaping of the lights, but a slightly bit too dark to me.

i would have cropped the (extra) light on the right jsut to get more symmetry and would have loved to see more details on those buildings. those starlight effects are perfect!
