Way too much sky for the lack of color in it. I would have liked this photo cropped right down to top of the tallest steeple because there is so much to look at in the buildings.

Interesting use of negative space to make a statement.

Good colors, I like the buildings.

I ususally like negative space like this, but I think it's too much this time. The buildings' colors get lost. Still a pretty picture, though.

A little to much sky imho. A nice shot of the old city though. Gave 5

I would zoom in on the village and reduce the sky significantly.

I'd have cropped differently, there's just WAY too much sky

Too much space at the top for me. The vast negative space doesn't add anything to the photo; just the opposite. Crop most of it out. What's left is very interesting: a nice assortment of shapes and colors that conveys some of the character of Tallinn.

wow! i like the proportion of the sky versus the urbanscape!

I like what your trying to do here, but I think you got too much sky, and not enough of the town (assuming there is something more to photograph). I like this photo nonetheless. Might have been better on a clearer day, those bright houeses would have looked great, but you only got what ya got. 8

Why so much boring sky?

I thank you should have crop some of the sky , The town is so beautiful. 7

Roof scape good but way too much bland sky IMO would have at least been helped by a major crop of the sky.

a little too much sky... but still a good shot. Crop, crop, crop.

Interesting cropping choice. Is all this sky included for visual or metaphorical reasons? I like it very much.

Nice use of negative space but too much for my taste for this challenge. If you had focused more on the buildings I think the sense of urban would have come through much better. Otherwise it's a lovely shot, good color, crisp, clear and appealing.

This looks like a really cool setting. Colors of the buildings are great, you captured that really well. There is a bit too much sky for my taste, but otherwise well done.

Nice shot, maybe a bit too much negative space.

Nope - too easy

Nice photo but could use a little more cropping as there is too much sky and nearly white at the top.

needs more town and less sky

Far too much sky, could have looked better as a landscape shot with alot of sky.

I like all the negative space of the sky.

This place is sure on my list of places to visit! I love those style buildings, I photographed a lot of them when I was in Russia two weeks ago. What a pity the sky was overcast, although the way you have used the sky as negative space is a good idea. So of the three people at DPC coming from Estonia I wonder who this pic belongs too :-) (8)

Too much sky!!! If the were more interesting....

While I like the color on the bottom of the picture I don't like all the empty space above. I wish you would have included more in your photo or would have taken it at a different angle. The empty space does not enhance the photo to me. Just my personal opinion.

too bald on the top. 5

What a pretty town. Beautiful.

I would have chopped the overcast sky. Made it that much bigger !
