I like the power lines, it's the sunrise in the city, and that is my favorite time before most people are out and about, nice shot.

Ok, so this time, go back downtown (not today but whenever) and this time try to get a focus on a slot at different angles. Shoot looking up. Shoot looking down. Try to focus your subject to the left or right of the frame and create a rule of 1/3rds would be a good idea too, especially if you can get people in the background actually using the machines. I just figure, if you are down there, you mine as well shoot it at every angle you can think of.

Still holding my vote. GL!

Um, no offence author, but usually when you take a shot like this, it just lacks the artistic point of view. A photo like this is more like documenting, as is you were gathering evidence for a crime scene. My suggestion is try re-shooting but do it from different angles.

Once again author, I'm not trying to discredit you but suggest a better way to make the subject more artistic. GL!

Amazing textures though the background is distracting, wish you'd focused those out. Good luck.

Rob, perhaps it is that the traffic signals are intended to prevent accidents, yet it is broken... I could be drawing a long bow here, but that might be it...

No offence author.. but I don't think he'll fly away in a real hurry seeing that it is a captive bird (the leather straps on his legs are a bit of a give away )

avatar adeincyprus

this I would consider as kitch, because it is a mass produced variety of a very famous artist's work. his originals are a long way from kitch, if you have ever seen one, as I have..........

the light and contrast levels on this need a little work, the subject is a little 'flat'. it needs 'popping'...........light, contrast, levels, curves and saturation..............
