Greetings from the Critique Club. This building is very interesting with very cool textures and angles - I can't help, however, thinking you might have chosen a different angle that would show off the building's architecture better. This flat angle just doesn't seem to do the building justice. Also the sky - an old photographer saying is "seen one blue sky, you've seen em all" - meaning a blank flat sky is fairly uninteresting. For overall improvement of this shot, I would suggest, besides the change of view-point, either waiting for an interesting sky, or composing the shot to not include the sky - or very little of it.

These comments are meant to be helpful, I hope you find them so.

Good luck

Greetings from the *Critique Club*

First of all let me start off by saying that this shot meets the challenge of Shallow DOF. Good effort for your first submission.

Lets see where can I begin to help you improve your score. Your choice of subject lacks interest to the viewers as the comments have let you know. Keep in mind that photography is a form of art and you should try to be as artistic as you can with the challenges here on DPC, that lens cap might have worked better if you used less DOF and had a camera in the background that was out of focus, just a thought.

For a first submission this was nicely done, just don't take the challenge title so literally and read the forms prior to your submission this will help you get an idea of what the voters are looking for. I made the same mistake with my shallow DOF entry also, I went for super shallow like you did.

This is a great macro and certainly meets the challenge. Not overly interesting, but the title helps it for me. hee hee Good one.
