Highly emotive subject that has been processed with care. The colouring gives a greater feeling of desolation and finality. Well Done

Auroral Display

I never tire of seeing these displays. I can't say a lot more about this photo, the colours are stunning, the reflections as sharp as the display. Worthy 10

Such Perfect Grace

Wow! What a capture. I am guessing you had to bump ISO pretty high to freeze the hummingbird, hence the noise, which does not detract from the beauty of the photo. Worthy of 10

Prelude to a Storm

Great use of colour, not over staturated, yet keeps that menace of the impending storm. It is a photo that draws the eye back time and again to see if the wispy clouds have moved at all. Well worth 10

Great capture of the moth? in flight, yet still keeping everything else in focus. A sharp punchy shot with good contrast. Well worth 10

I like cycling photos and this one captured the movement and speed. It is sharply in focus, good colours and what else can I say?? Good One!

Looks good, but what does a full B&W look like, with a bit of ageing! Good work!

Waste Lands

Harsh Environment. This is grimmer than a really grimy, grim thing. It creates feelings of depression and hopelessness. Well Done, well worthy of a 10.

This is one of best photos I've seen on DPC! I would have given it 11, but cos you didn't use the full size available, I only gave you 10!

Hi from the Critique Club.

Here is your requested critique.

Technical: Well focused and centralized. Effects have been used to increase the effects of the night sky and the building's lights help increase the drama of the photo.

Composition: The main subject, the cathedral is centrally placed with the dramatic sky emphasising the features of the uplit facia of the building. The fountain in the foreground detracts from the image by drawing the eye to the left bottom corner. Although the TV tower is a landmark, it looks out of place and the distortion of lens makes it appear to be toppling towards the cathedral. The lower right corner appears dark and featureless.

Overall: This is stunning picture of a fine building. The use of effects has made for a dramatic image which is close to being over manipulated. The TV tower, although a landmark, and the fountain detract from the main subject. This photo certainly meets the challenge for Architecture, but falls short of displaying just how fine the building is by being too all encompassing. I would love to have seen the main arch at the front shown in the same lighting, but closer. A very good photo that many would be pleased to have taken. The marks it got place it where it should be in the challenge and I hope you go on to take more photos of this subject. Thanks for allowing me to critique this shot.
