Ok, lets do this!
NeverhadaPC - Love the complexity of this shot, framing is great, I understand the hard lighting environment this must've been but it looks a little overly contrasted and dirty.
pmxperience - The vibrancy of the colours of the roof are amazing, really draws your eye in. The people walking really work well, especially with the reflection. My only criticism is the bottom half is too dark and washed out by comparison, a composition of 2 different exposures could've really given this a full body of colour.
AT06 - You have some nice colours present in this shot and I'll presume there's no photoshop tweaking used in this? The framing feels a little off though and it doesn't seem to draw your eye to anything really specific, slightly wider would've probably done better justice.
Stinja - Great framing, the snow and sky really offset each other and you really nailed the exposure of this.
Cheese&Apple - A blitz of colours! I might've gone slightly wider with the shot as having the ground so close to the edge of the shot hurts the perspective in my opinion.
sim667 - This really draws my eye in and around, the centre piece pushes your sight out nicely.
genshi - Great building to pick for this competition, the colours are great and the shading of the lighting really gives a nice dimension to the building. My only critique is this should've been a composition as the bottom window is way too bloomed and the dust marks on right in the sky are distracting.
hnr2web - This is great, the exposure is just right, great mix of colours and contrast, framing is spot on too.
astrosinmyeyes - I like the rurality of this shot but the shot feels a bit too wide, too much of the shot is filled by the walls either side.
LongSticks - Lovely stacking of houses, the position you picked for this shot gives a great dissection of varying housing, the house on the left feels a bit distracting though, but I understand if it couldn't be helped, tight English paths are a nightmare!
macAllen - Nice abstract shot, I like photography like this that focuses on pieces of architecture that go unnoticed. It feels a little soft though, was your f-stop exceptionally wide?
iTiki - A medley to look at, engineering is a art form unto itself. The lighting really aids your shot and I understand how hard it is to deal with industrial lighting.
samcraig - There's so much I enjoy about this shot, the lighting and shadows, the framing, position, fantastic use of B&W.
twitch31 - Nice panorama, interesting view and the complexity keeps the eye wandering, my only criticisms would be that the colour balance doesn't seem right (did you use auto, manual Kelvin or preset?) and the exposure felt a dark.
ijohn.8.80 - Nice long exposure, the sky seems to be the main feature of this over the ruins though, lighting was obviously tough though so I can understand why the walls are dark.
someoldguy - Interesting view and the framing feels nice in this, lighting is good, might've tried stepping back a bit to see more of the door though.
acearchie - Great spiral, reminds me of the fibonacci spiral (a favourite framing technique of mine), exposure, colour and framing are all great on this.
AlexH - Nice B&W contrast and your processing really aids this, I'm not entirely sure on what the focal point is supposed to be though, my eye wanders but there's nothing I land on.
soulreaver99 - The shading from the lights are great! Your framing is nice but it feels a little off kilter. A subtle 2 tone technique could've adied in bringing out more definition.
imac wannabe - The contrast between the dark wall and white tombstones really give this shot a boost in contrast, it feels a little muddled though given the complexity of all of those stones.
oblomow - Wow! I'd love to know the backstory of this building! Colours are amazing, I'd love to see some close ups too!
Fujiko7 - Windows offer a great surreal perspective on skyscrapers and this is no exception, this feels a little dull though, some processing could've brought out some extra colour and contrasts in this.
farbRausch - Lovely colours! The processing on this is great, the vignette feels a little bit much around the edge, my eye is already drawn in anyway, the tone of this really nails the colours.
deep diver - I can't remember where this is but every time I see it I love the variations people take as using this as a reflective device. The fish eye like distortion is nice but the colouring feels a little dull in places.
I hope this feedback has been helpful, any questions feel free to PM me!
Great variety of shots here, it was very hard to decide the winner.
