Greetings from the Critique Club!

First, let me say that I am not a professional or even a very good amature photographer, so you may want to take my comments with a grain of salt.

Meeting the Challenge: As mentioned previously, this is not as old-looking as some others. I think adding the 1940's info to your title might have helped a tiny bit with this. It meets the challenge to me but with something like oldness, it is sort of a comparison between the entries.

Composition: I like the balance of building and sky, and the geometric shapes. Seems maybe just a little bit tilted?

Lighting: The shadows formed by the middle columns are sort of harsh. Maybe a different time of day would have helped this more. Otherwise good.

Color: Vibrant and pleasing.

Image Dimensions and Filesize: The filesize should be as close to 150kb as possible to minimize compression artifacts.

Misc / My subjective thoughts: Congrats on your first challenge entry. It's good to see you participating here at DPC! Do not be discouraged about your first entry - it is a decent first score. Also, I think that in another challenge this may have done even better. I hope to see more challenge entries from you in the future. :-)

I hope this helps! Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

this is a bit vague... that building looks new relative to some of the "old" buildings I have seen in this challenge.

With the advanced editing rules, I would prefer to see the power line cloned out.

A bit of advanced editing wouldn't have gone amiss on this one. The cable is an eyesore on an otherwise well executed shot.

I guess other stuff out there may have been more clichee but definitely more attractive than this station, no?
