I like the way you divided up the shot. Well done. I wish the wall was a more lively colour. Nice shot.

Beige could be considered warm, but the blue an dgreen are definitely cool colours.

The afternoon may be warm, but the colors are cool. I normally, don't like shadows, but you need it here to convey the time. The sky is great.

Not bad for a "no subject" shot ! I never have the nerve to enter something like this on DPC. Voters tend to like a strong focus point or a grand sea/landscape.

I always thought green and blue were cool colours.

Greetings from the Critique Club

I think you know immediately why this only scored 5.47. If you wanted to get a higher score, then you should not have entered a bike in an automobile ad. Langdon's description even mentions cars, so honestly, you took a risk and you probably knew it ahead of time.

That said, I think the image itself is great. The composition is excellent. The sky, however, feels a little over exposed, always challenging in such bright sunshine not to do that. The bike itself could benefit from being a little bit lighter, but again, not a biggy. The graphics also work, although I perhaps would have left off the border. I think there is a conflict between the cleanness of the advertising graphic and the grunginess of the border, so I think I'd do without the border.

Overall I think this was very well done, but I'm not surprised it didn't do better. In a different challenge I expect it would have been around 5.8 - 6.00.

the point of view is nice...the image looks a little contrasty so the details in the shadows is gone...sky is a little bland
