I actually thought about something along these lines; more with a sunset being photons (which are the smallest particles of light) as bit's and pieces. So, congrats to you on an interesting photo!

Lensbaby? I gotta get my one of those. I wish you'd used the full 640 pixels here.

Technical: Focus - 0
Exposure- 1
Quality - 1
Aesthetic: Comp. - 1
Light - 0
Color - 1
Wow factor: 0
Personal tilt: 1/3

What I like: I like the gold in the artwork as well as the position of the hand.

What I didn't like: The lighting is fairly flat, and I feel that the restoring hand should have been a what was in focus rather than just the artwork.

Greetings from the Critique Club
by strangeghost

The first three parts of this critique are written based purely on examination of your photo. "Final thoughts" is written after reviewing your score, photographer's comments, and voter comments.

TECHNIQUE
Outstanding depth, almost gives a three dimensional feel to the image. The exposure is a bit dark, particularly in the trees. Focus is good. I like the deeply saturated blues of the sky and how it contrasts with the earthy colors that dominate the rest of the image.

COMPOSITION
It's a unique take on a demolition. The titled viewpoint, the deep depth of field; these combine to create a surreal feel to the whole scene. The foreground is dominated by the twisted mass of iron rod and rocks, which tends to make things look a bit messy, but I still like the effect.

EMOTIONAL IMPACT
As much as I like the technical and compositional job you've done, I don't think the picture has a significant emotional impact. It's definitely unique and creative, but not all that compelling or provocative.

FINAL THOUGHTS
Voters were relatively indifferent though your commenters seemed to like it. Your final score of five probably results from the overall lack of emotional punch that I mentioned. It's a very well done image though. I like your compositional eye and you nailed the technical aspects. Good job.

I like the way the hand blends into the painting. It's even gilded with a ring!
