Thanks everyone, for your comments. Some answers:
*the sky is unnaturally blue, yes. my Kodak DX3900 seems to do this. I don't know why, but I usually like it, even if it's innacurate.
*'the life', I s'pose, is implied. I guess all this building is a side-effect of our life.
Patella, thanks for the advice.
Spiderman, heh, I'll be happy to see how you use it.

Nicely composed and framed.

I'm probably giving this a higher score than everybody else, but I don't care. I like the color and the abstact nature of the shot -- even though it's a very concrete (no pun intended) visual of city growth. My only concern is all the compression artifacts, particularly around the rebar. It may not be possible, but saving this as a less compressed .jpg might smooth all that out. (I notice that its file size is only about 1/3 of what it's allowed to be -- use that extra and elminate the compression.) :-)

Simple and effective.

Nice implied movement and I like that it takes a few seconds to figure out what is going on.

Where's the life?
06/27/2002 10:56:00 PM
i'll steal the composition at a later date :)

I definitely like this one... the 'infrastructure' concept works well... the sky looks a little 'unnatural' but it still looks great :) = 8 - jmsetzler

good statement
06/25/2002 07:59:00 PM
On and on.

hmmm....I'm not sure I like this. The blue seems a little too deep. The composition is great...just not very interesting. Seems technically sound..7

great. captures my attention and suits the challenge well.

I don't quite know what I am looking at; but it looks great. Too much jpeg compression?
06/24/2002 02:43:00 PM
i dont get it, but its so awesome!
06/24/2002 02:10:00 PM
Interesting way to convey your message.

Where is the life?

nice... : )

Nice contrast between the blue sky and the grey concrete.The dramatic angle of the re-bar tops off a great pix.

The color and textures are amazing. Sadly I wouldn't know this was about City Life without the title.
