This shot has some real potential. I like the overall idea but the overall composition seems just a bit off to me. I placed my magic envelopes on the screen, on the top and the left, bringing the light so it was lower left corner to upper right corner and WOW, what a difference in the composition.

THe lighting is good but could also use a bit of a punch, there are no definate black or white points that I can see and this shot practically begs for higher contrast. Just some thoughts, hope they help.

I gave you a 7 on the picture. I was a very clear shot, not blurry at all and the black and white appears to be a good choice. The reasons I didn't score it higher was because 1)I don't see a broken parking meter, or even a working parking meter every day and 2) Although it is a good shot the picture has a depressing quaility. Just my thoughts. Good luck on the next challenge.

I love the overall tone of this. The fence fading into the background is supurb. Nice teature captured in the sky.

Nice photo, but I don't see the every day objects arranged in an interesting composition.
