Greetings from the Critique Club: I have been assigned your photo to critique and here are my thoughts:
Personal Reaction: My initial reaction was that I loved this image. My second reaction, seeing your description was, âItâs probably illegal.â I am not sure âcloud differenceâ is legal ⦠but you got away with it. Check w/ Site Council for clarification. It is obvious you are a risk taker and I feel there is too little risk taking here. So kudos for your risk seeking image!
Composition: Simply wonderful. I like the low angle of the photo a lot. I really like the âswooshâ at the bottom trending up and to the right. It manages my eye and brings it back around. It ties in well with the circle of the boiler which brings my eye back around yet again.
Technicals: This is not a very âapproachableâ image. If I am inclined to resonate with it, I will. If not, well, youâre toast! I can find no technical fault with it. But its post processing is way out-of-the-box. I, personally, like it but it will appeal to a limited audience. If you aspire to higher scores, go more main stream. I hope you wonât because Iâd like to see more of this style!
Conclusions: You got a poor score, because it was far from the expectations of most voters. They are narrow-minded. My only council is to please yourself, keep taking risks, and expect that these risks will not always be rewarded with high scores. Van Gogh was never appreciated during his life time. Maybe youâll be luckier!
As always, this is my personal opinion. Feel free to PM me if youâd like further dialog.

| I like the colors and the perspective. It looks like you connected with many people on the post-processing, so that's good news. :) |

| Over processed for my taste. The perspective brings interest but I can't get past the processing. |
