Halifax, Nova Scotia

Is this worth submitting to the portrait style cityscapes thread? Comments/critiques?

First off.. I can't see why not.

This is soo a Halifax scene! The buildings! Is this downtown near the casino? Ha ha..I remember going to some "70's" club and it turned out to be a gay bar...all men beside my friend and I.

Getting back on topic..the only thing I would of not included would be the cement post in the bottom.

I love Halifax!

I'm trying to be pickier

This is the Parade Square not too far from the casino. I've never been to that bar. (not that there is anything wrong with that)

Interesting. I included it on purpose because I kinda thought it was a repeating shape that kinda mirrored the town clock and led your eye up the hill toward it. Guess it didn't work as well as I'd hoped.

First of all it's good to be picky . It definitely could go in though. I would edit out the post too. When you explained it, it made sense but I don't think that there's enough of it to have the echo effect you want.

If you want me to be very very honest, I think that you could take a much better photo. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice photo but I think that you could do a 'wow' photo

Unfortunately I have to agree with Bambi here Iggy - It's an okay shot, not a wow shot. The individual elements that make up the photo aren't working together for me if that makes any sense. Also it could use a medium sized contrast boost imo. Hope that helps - Marko

Where does the sun set/rise in relation to this photo?

I think it would be neat to have it right at the tip of the hill. Have those lovely golden tones shine up the windows.

I see what you were doing with the post..but for me it doesn't look good. Maybe if you were back a couple of feet and had the post with some of the grass taking up the lower 1/3 of the photo.

And if you got time..I'd like to see a photo from up top looking down on to the water
