Hi Hazara,
Firstly, it is the "Bolte Bridge" not the "Balti Bridge".
I like the capture - well composed. exposed, etc. I think as Whiteknight has suggested, the frame does nothing to help the image, especially with the colours you've chosen. I think a simple white frame or something would have worked better.
Regards,
Phil

As others have said, a powerful and dramatic image - the thumbnail really stood out in the gallery and the larger version didn't disappoint. I really like the graininess in the shot, it certainly adds some mood.

Hi Ralph,
Nicely composed and shot. Good details, nice warm lighting. A B&W could work well, or an HDR on a moody day to tell more the story of the building.

Phil

Hi Barna,
I like the mood you have captured in this one. The graininess and angled composition add to it nicely. Nice one!

Hi Rajasekar,
Scene this view before, but I like the lighting in this shot - the lovely warm light from the sun. Good and sharp and great colour, the only thing I would say negative is the horizon is off.
Regards,
Phil

Hi Saleem,
Although the photo doesn't look natural, some awesome post processing work. Good job.

Hi Seyfettin,
You've got some good shots in your portfolio, unfortunately this isn't one of them. The subject is boring, boring colours. Sorry, no good. It looks like a photo of the weeds next to train line. Sorry, just my honest opinion.

Hi Pierre,
This one doesn't do it for me. The lighting is too harsh, I can't see the bulls eyes. There are distractions in the bottom right corner. Perhaps some fill flash could have balanced the exposure a bit and shown the face. Just being honest.

Phil

Hi Dennis,
A few problems with this one. The lighting is very harsh due to direct sun light. Diffused light such as you would get on a cloudy day works much better. Also, there is a lot of clutter in the shot. It would be better to try to isolate the subject against a reasonably clean background.
I hope this helps a little.

Phil

Hi JeanPaul,
This is a good B&W shot, good focus and DOf is spot on. I do find distracting though the microphone coming out of the subject's head. A different POV could rectify this.
