Critiques


:icontimothy-sim:
What i thought about this piece was really the open interpretation that anyone can see from the use of the no through road sign and the buildings of sunny singapore.

I particularly enjoyed the interpretation I got as a local of this FINE country as the sign simply tells of the tons of 'can't do this, can't do that' laws in this country.
Tourists, and given the coming of our dearest dA CEOs $Heidi and $spyed to this small island, one would want to pay attention that everything is given a NO, like gum, littering, spitting etc. or you'll get a nice hefty fine. Very well composed!

But i digress on the technicalities..
I liked how you isolated the colour of the sign and gave a very beautiful monochromatic tone to the street. One thing i would suggest you should have done would be to shift this frame slightly to the right so the sign would fall a little more comfortably in the rule of thirds.

Anything fresh from a foreigner's point of view of my country's always a wonderful perspective to behold.

That looks great, Sascha! =D
I love how the sign stands out, and it's a very detailed shot.

You know... you can interpret about so many things about us Singaporeans by looking at this picture. :)

This is perfect. The bright flash of red against the sepia tones, it's brilliant.

I am rarely a fan of selective colouring but in this instance it seems to have been used really well. Good job :)
:iconcenturyslayer:
the monochrome and the read colours fits really well , and the scyscraper (?) adds such a nice touch to the huddled streets below. spot on mate :thumbsup:
