Thumb-up Thumb-up    from mikewebb/Mike (13,814) This user is a Premium Member Send mail to this user on April 22, 2012 7:37:35 AM CDT (2) Early critique

Clever use of very little but the big bold yellow on red against a pallid sky is powerful. Those spindly lights work well with the density of the sign. Dare I suggest a square crop losing the right edge?

Thumb-up Thumb-up    from svenkoerber/Sven (435) Send mail to this user on April 22, 2012 6:28:37 AM CDT (4) Early critique

What I like about this image is its minimalism and the pleasant asymmetry of the composition. It works really well in a 3:2 aspect ratio.

I would like to see an even more minimal variation without the typography. I think that would bring out the interesting tension between the flat sky and red panel with the implied dimensionality of the lightposts.

Good eyes taking a good frame! The background may be a bit pale yet it provided a situation to stand out the whole and sole key point. Composed completely, an impressive work again.
