Greetings from the Critique Club!

No question about it, this photograph certainly meets the challenge, in that this is a textbook example of the rule of thirds.

That said, the best photographs in any challenge are usually ones that stand on their own. That is, they are great photographs even without knowing what the challenge topic was, or even that they were part of a challenge at all. What this photograph lacks is an interesting subject to hold the viewer's attention.

The blue seems a bit flat and a saturation or curves adjustment in the blue or cyan channels might have added some punch to this.

Not bad but a bit flat contrast wise for my taste, did you try boosting it a bit?

This is great photograph... No complaints or critiques, except there's not really anything interesting in the image, and I don't get how the title fits... Otherwise, excellent colors and good sharp image.

Very effective and excellent example of the rule. Looks like some sort of flag.

Just lacks some substanance. Good focus (although could use a sharpen), but nothing to really grab you or even speak to you.
