Trees make way for cities, and of course, technology. The changing face of the sky is reflected by the constant changing of what lies just below it. The sweetness of nature, the trees the air we breath, and the sky we admire always come second to the demands of the city - and what better symbol of that demand, than the replacement of the wooden tree with the talking variety.

Nice title. I am assuming you left the tree in on the right to refer to the title I think it may have looked better without it though.

Picture is a little dark for me in the foreground. I do like the cloud formations.

I love the look of the clouds, but where is the city life?

ditch the trees and its a winner

Too dark and lacks a clear subject.

Interesting cloud patterns but seems not clearly defined enough; foreground subjects dark, upper left overexposed

Very interesting clouds! I think that the com Tower is a bit to dark, and maybe blends in to much with thte surounding sky. Nice job though, i think it is placed at a very appropriate spot in the photo!

This made me pause to think about it, the sillouhetting of the cell tower against the sky does make it less identifiable and more like a tree--good. I think it would be better though if it were a tighter shot of the tower, and not centered like that, it feels like the camera was accidentally pointed too high or something.

a nice interesting sky, but the tower and trees seem to be lacking anything interesting.

great shot and well edited

Hmm, with the contrast and color and such, this has definite potential... I'm afraid I'm not much of a fan of the overall composition, though. Perhaps the cell tower could have been made to be further to the left in the frame? Even making a square crop of this otherwise-as-is might work, though that does get rid of the sun... Not sure what's best, just some thoughts. Somewhere in the 6 to 7 range for me.

IMHO this doesn't depict "City Life"
01/04/2006 10:23:07 AM
beautiful

City Life...how is this indicative of city life? Cell towers are everywhere and with the trees this doesn't appear to be 'city.'

nice sky but this doesn't really seem like "city life" to me

This is a good concept. It is a pity that the clouds are making the talking tree hard to see.
