Africa today (tonight)

Very pretty colors in the sky, and a somewhat attractive skyline. The sun makes me think that this isn't very late at night, though. Also, the skyline seems very slightly high on the image.

Update: Okay, so it's not a sun, but a gas flare. The arrangement, particularly with the lights in the clouds behind it, make it look like a sunset scene, however, which still leaves me *feeling* like it doesn't really fit the challenge, possibly because I can't get over my first impression now. A title change noting that it is not a sunset might have changed that feeling to a sense of wonder about what exactly is being looked at (e.g. "In Africa, This Is Not a Sunset"). The current title, by blending "today"/"tonight", actively encourages the misinterpretation as a sunset.

A sunset is not late night.

Very jagged. Upsampled from a smaller picture?

Damn console gamers... at least your hobby is getting you out of the house :P (Not that I'm one to talk...)

Interesting use of light and shadow, and the plant breaks up the background nicely. Black and white works well here, as does the odd slant, but the image still doesn't really grab my attention.

On the LCD, this was almost black on black. On my CRT, it comes out just fine, complete with the slight leaf detail in the background which breaks up the negative space nicely.

I like the reflections and the color contrast of the lone red bag. The expression is also nice.

You're probably going to get hammered for submitting something so small. This doesn't bother me as much as some, but it does make the details hard to pick out. Highlights at the top of the fountain seem blown, and the color on the front stonework doesn't seem to fit the image.

This looks more like a painting than a photograph. There's such a thing as being too heavily processed.

Very noisy, made particularly visible by the chroma noise, underexposed, and there doesn't seem to be anything particularly interesting about the subject. I recommend picking up Noise Ninja and bracketing your shots, standing closer, or getting a better flash.
