You lost an opportunity to make this one moodier and therefore more interesting. It could have been raining. Next time choose a better camera, seeing that much of the canopy is distracting and the lightpost is not needed.

I find the compostition to be stimulating, if not a bit confining. The rear-ground hero buildings don't have the degree of finish or realism of the foreground, so their strength diminishes. Ground textures and specularity are rich and well-developed. Also, the value study of the image is strong.

If the purpose of this image is to show a particular time of day with particular weather system that just happened then it is a very effective piece. The modeling and texturing on the elements are superb. The overcast sky feeling is also there but it lacks the proper push to really make it an effective melodramatic piece. The color palette could have been made better by adding a colorful counterpoint in the foreground like maybe a brightly dressed person in red or checkered dress. This is just to offset the overall gray subdued tonality in the image. Even a errant upturned red or yellow umbrella would have worked well and maybe make the piece more engaging. Also maybe a red car?
In painting as well as photography when everything else is working you do need to balance things out, and in this intance you have the rest of the image working so the next job is to make it alluring and engaging and to hold the viewer and maybe even tell a story. There is alot of potential in this image to work more cohesively and this is now the realm of psychoperceptual wherein emotions and feelings are aroused through color palette and contrast. This is where you bring this piece to the next level. You need to enliven up the piece because it is too melancholic although it excels in the modeling and texturing and partly in the lighting.

There is evident technical skill in this image, but it's lacking focus.
I agree with Arnold that something ot someone to make it engaging is all it needs. Maybe someone is folding their umbrella and getting into a cab? The overhang helps the composition and fits well with the rain, but the perspective is forcing the eye up to a gloomy sky? Am I looking at the buildings in the background, the sky, the pole. I could live without the shadowy figure crossing the street. Turn the street lights on? Headlights/ Taillights? Windshield wipers? Be careful that the reflective sidewalk doesn't look too metallic. |

This rendering is an example of a well-built image. It shows much skill in all the areas one would want skills for architectural rendering. It has great lighting, texturing and composition.
The few areas I like less are the overly-orange lights visible in just one spot. It's too strong for the rest of the picture so is a distraction. The store window is too bright and saturated pink. The cars are interesting, it's nice to not always have the same few European luxury sedans or Ferraris, but these are too distinctly different. Not a big deal, just takes away from the overall reality. The bumpy textures on the sidewalk and the road are too pronounced, too perfect. They should have been toned down. The blurry people could be less blurry, also just because they grab attention from the architecture. All of the structures are very well modeled and rendered. The tones on the towers are great, the front one seems too desaturated but is saved by the back one which has just enough color and contrast. The trees could use a hint of a few leaves for color, but just a hint. I like the train crossing the bridge but don't like the posts and wires. You don't need them, they add nothing and are distracting. Also, it would be nice to see one end of the train or the other, since it is hard to tell that it is a train without it.
