A few more from the past few months for you guys to critique.

This one reminds me of a certain movie...

I like the first and second (the second slightly more)

I dont like the third... I dont quite know why.... Looks "Un-ballanced..."
*shrug*

I like the moon over AMP/centrepoint tower.

The second might have done better with a polariser. Seems like the sky's brightened towards the right, and the blue channel's on its way to maxing out hence the aqua tinge.

The third seems like two photos compositionally - the cranes against a pure blue sky would have made a nice image, likewise the busy 'concreteness' of the lower half.

I like the second image better than the first, although the moon works well in the first one. Second one looks like there's a bit of vignetting in the corners - what lens (please don't say Nikon 12-24 or Glen will hammer me). This one - I'm with onyx - i'd just clone out the cranes.

yeah i can understand why you guys don't like the 3rd one. With the second i used the kit lens and also a polariser, the sun was setting and just to the right which is why i think the polarizer wasnt so effective. I'm not sure there is much i could do to correct that?

I was thinking 2001 A Space Odyssey, but i guess those work too!

I like the last one the best, but I'd lose the cranes, I love the shape of the column, it just says different to me.

The second is really good too, although the video camera in the bottom left kind of draws my eye rather than being led up the corner of the building.

Cheers
Brett PS not a really good critique :P

I think the first one would have worked better if the moon was off to one side or the other rather than being directly above the tower. It would have nicely broken up the sky.
