Completely posed, actually. But I see why you'd think so - I expected candids to be common in the challenge, so I went with the most candid-looking one. Could've just set up a shot of me and my girlfriend, but I thought this would fare better.

Yeah, I agree. It looked okay on the laptop, but not here on my girlfriend's monitor. Next time, I'll check the histogram before submitting.

That could add to it. On my cousin's monitor, it's very low-key and saturated.

Thanks for the 8; I think it's more of a "5" or "6" image because of the darkness and weird composition, but your 8 helped offset the 1s and 2s.

Edit: line spacing

I like the use of negative space.. a little sharper and without the dark (shadow?) in the front I would have rated it a point higher.. but 9 isn't bad either i guess!

Kind of Voyeuristic which is a little creepy to me. The architecture of the building and your crop is very good as well as the focus. To me, the photo seems slightly dark. It's always hard to judge why because we can't see your camera settings until after the challenge is over. It may also be something you may have done in photoshop. Or, it may just be my monitor! Anyway, for the challenge I'll give your photo an 8.
