Hi again Anna - more critique fun.

Immediate impression - it seems soft-focussed, and feels not quite horizontal. The soft-focus thing is really quite bizarre though: looking at the shadow lines, and the top edge, it seems plenty sharp enought there - so i think it must be the tonality of the panels and the glass that give it. As to the horizontal - I'd have to measure it: on closer inspection sometimes it looks OK, and sometimes off.

Obviously meets the challenge - no issues there.

It doesn't have much impact for me: the way the centre part of the building appears to continue into the relection is pretty effective - approaches timmi's shot that placed 3rd - but isn't emphasised by the composition, or the light. The subject is plainly, and not just because of the title, the line of the top of the building; and whilst it's clear that that is right angles, perhaps it would have been more effective if it had been a genuine right angle on screen: I think that might have looked quite striking.

Still, 5.6 is not a bad finish.

This would probably have been better cropped to the edge of the 'W' extremeties. Nice reflections but contrast could have been better.

This is a really nice composition and shot. I especially like the echoing right angles in the reflections, and the way it makes this into a multi-layered photo, as it were.

nicely done. more sky would have brought the most prominent of the angles near the center of the picture, giving focus to the theme. could use some sharpening. good exposure and crop. 7
