An awful lot of JPEG compression showing here. Your image is only 13k when you could have used up to 150k. Check the JPEG compression settings in your image editor.

This shot has potential, and the "Wig" idea is clever. Fiddle with the levels & curves to show more shadow detail, and especially work on the way you save the shot for the web. It's very pixelated, with lots of JPEG artifacts.

This picture is very poor quality, its very grainy and blurry.

This could have been a good photo taken with a better camera. Its really let down by the heavy pixelation and the monument looks really crooked.

Could do with being a bit sharper, perhaps some of the colours/contrast made more vibrant.

Cute. There are a tonne of artifacts in this image.

I like the idea, but it's not a particularly appealing photo visually with regards to contrast and color.
03/14/2008 05:41:12 AM
not enough contrast in the image. A little too blue.

Steam?

An interesting new angle on a sight that is seen so often in more flattering circumstances. The unfortunate thing about this image is that it looks like the quality has been severely degraded in processing.

I like the concept. I think it might be better if you cropped the bottom of the photo. The photo also looks very grainy.

A little hazy and the halo's around the towers and momument are distracting.

This looks really grainy and pixalated like you had to crop this down and zoom in too much. the composition is good and i like the subject and emphasis on the monument. Even the lighting seems to work with the whole polluted theme. But i can't ignore my first comment so that brings your score down... i really do like what you were going for...

this is a really good picture, but it is a little out of focus.
03/13/2008 06:47:37 AM
The shot is very dim, dark and noisy. Good concept though.
03/13/2008 05:30:43 AM
way out of focus
03/13/2008 05:18:26 AM
composition and sharpness are poor, good luck
03/12/2008 04:37:26 PM
very noisy and not quite sharp.
03/12/2008 02:23:59 PM
It looks like you took this from some distance away hence the soft focus.
