Innovation: 3/5

Overall: I like this photo quite a bit. The angle is quite nice, and I like that it's in black in white. There are just a few things - which will be explored below - that I'm not fond of.

Composition: So, there's a distraction in the top right corner, where, like, power lines cross the corner. I'd also like to see the vanishing point further to the right. I really like the contrast between the clouds and the street. Also, I think having the cars there makes it more interesting.

Emotion: This photo totally reminds me of the Beatles. The clouds seem a tad ominous to me, which is actually quite nice. I like your choice of black and white for this one, as it helps to keep the cars (which are probably in a plethora of colors) from distracting the viewer, as well as adding to the somewhat ominous feeling.

Innovation: It's been a while since I've seen something like this. This photo immediately brings to mind the Beatles, as well as the cover of American Gods (at least, the copy of the book I have). Anyhow, I like the combination.

A little bit about Celine:
She's been playing the photography game for about four years. Like me, she doesn't really have a favorite kind of shot, she just likes the ones that turn out awesome. Her gallery is pretty interesting - definitely worth a looksee.

Tip of the day:
Clouds and stuff can create different moods in your photo. In the same way, capturing a person unawares can create a great mood of its own - the kind of mood that makes you laugh. Seriously. Try it some time.
