Greetings from the Critique Club.

Good shot of the old New York Worlds Fair structure. It certainly looks about forty years old. Great photo angle, where you can see the geometric shapes of the structure. Actually there are many shapes visable here. Interesting use of iron cable wires to hold the structure together, something similar to the Brookly Bridge design.

Technically, its amazing that at 1600 ISO, you don't see much grain or noise in the image. The image loses some of it appeal due to its bland coloring. Perhaps at a different time of day, you could have gotten better lighting results. The background light is flat or dull. Sort of cloudy or overcast day when the shot was taken. That might explain the high ISO setting.

I am sure that most voters would have like this photo. It is probably different and unique take on the "Triangles" challenge. Although a lot structures use the triangle shape in their design, you just have to find the bridge or building that you need. I am sure that there are many different structures in NYC where you can see these geometrics.

Good imagination, good capture, great title. Work on the color presentation.

Good luck in your next DPChallenge. Zagman.

That's an interesting, unusual subject! It would be great with some more dramatic lighting like from the sun near the horizon.

Meets the challenge, composition is good, focus is sharp. Is there a chance that there might be a better lighting situation, for example, at sunrise or sunset? The lighting in this photo makes it look dull and flat.
