CRITIQUE CLUB!

i think this is a fine skyline view, but i'm not sure this is the most effective type of shot for this challenge.

this is a great point of view of a city, but to me it doesn't say a lot about life within the city itself. the image itself is full of different places to look, but leaves the viewer without a single focal point on which to concentrate. perhaps trying to isolate a few of the more interesting buildings might have been better?

i would also try to increase the contrast of the image. the colors all seem very flat -- it appears that the day was kind of hazy anyway, but you can boost the range of tones throughout the image and give it a bit more impact.

A little bit of a color cast, but nice picture otherwise.

Nothing's really "wrong" here, but it's not a terribly interesting picture, either.

Impressive what men can do...

It's a nice cityscape shot - nice early morning (perhaps late afternoon) colours. It doesn't really convey much about "City Life" to me though. Other than that it's a good photo - nice colour, brightness, sharpness, etc.

photo looks a bit dull. i think it would have looked better in another light or at night with all the city lights maybe?

Where's the citylife?

nice leading lines to the tall buildings. colors are so muted i would have liked to see this as a high contrast black and white
