The image was way too dark and lacked contrast.

Can't figure out what this is, ? ash tray. Wish there was more contrast, has an overall grayish appearance, like the pattern though.......

There doesn't seem to be a tree growing there yet. I'm assuming that your statement is that there is a lack of natural plant life in the city.

Nice irony but not so attractive as an image

nice job, a bit darkl, but i think thats what you were going for. When did they take the tree out? interesting at the least, good job!

an interesting concept but this shot is really dull, looks like it could use some tweaking with the contrast and levels. very unique though

I don't like to leave comments that aren't good, but I did not like this photo at all. Though technically it meets the challenge it is rather drab and not interesting to look at. I've taken quite a few like this, unfortunately.

Interesting shot. I think I see the idea here and how it meets the challenge, however I can understand how some could miss it. The composition is good, a fine use of repetitive patterns. It seems like your focus could be a bit sharper. That and some levels tweaking could strengthen the presentation here IMO. I think some brightened lights and deeper darks could increase the overall tonal range and maybe bring out more detail and engage the viewer stronger.

Lack of contrast and shadow makes this image rather flat, I like the idae though and this is a typical city life scenery these days.

an allegorical interpretation of the challenge! life as a maze with no worthy destination. a high score, but not the highest, because it doesn't have the visual impact of my favorites.

good point, suitable title, maybe it won't score well since people tend to wote low to "non direct to subject" entries. I like the metaphore.
good luck

This is very dark and in my IMHO does not really depict "City Life"
01/04/2006 06:04:52 AM
A bit dark and monotone.

I really really like this idea for this challenge, but the photo is.... well..... boring :-( Unfortunately I am not sure what to suggest to improve it.
