Ignore It (It'll go away)
Welcome to this critique thread. Please read the purpose statement and the guidelines/ground rules regarding participation.
Purpose
The primary purpose of this thread is to provide a forum where photographers can give and receive constructive criticism on one another's photographs. By setting up some basic guidelines we hope that this thread will provide a forum where the give and take of honest constructive criticism can help us become better photographers.
Guidelines/Ground Rules
The thread has very specific rules regarding participation. The one basic rule is that you cannot provide criticism on an image or comment in a critique thread unless you also have an image posted. To post an image to this thread you must be a participant. Participation in this thread is limited. Here are the guidelines and ground rules for participation:
• Participation in this thread is limited to 5 photographers
• Participants join the thread by posting their intention. You can simply reply with your intent to join by posting something like: "I'm joining," "I'm in," or just state your name
• Joining is on a "first come, first served" basis. The first 5 to reply become the participants.
• Please, only join this thread if you are able post an image within 24 hours of joining.
• Once the thread has 5 participants, no other photographers can join or participate in the thread
• Once the thread is full of participants all photographers will upload their image(s)
• Please abide by any thematic requirement (e.g., landscape, portrait, etc.)
•The number of photos for each participant is limited to one
• Photographers attach photos as thumbnails (no inline images or links)
• Photos should be standard screen resolution (72~90) and the longest side of the image approximately 10 inches in length.
• Photographers post their images supplying titles (if any) and other pertinent information (the amount of information should be minimal)
• Photographers can only comment on their own images and reply to comments only when everyone else in the thread has posted their comments on the image
• Every participant must comment on every photo (except their own—initially)
• Every participant must make at least two comments, one positive comment, and one constructive criticism (which is actually two positive comments)
• Once every photographer has commented then a free flowing discussion begins. It is at this point that every photographer can comment on their own work and reply to comments, ask questions, etc.
• The participants decide when the thread closes.

I suggest keeping the initial written comments on submissions to an absolute minimum until after comments/criticisms are offered. (Isn't this one of the thread guidelines?) Let's let the images speak for themselves initially.

Themes are always open to intrepretation and I do believe that there such a thing as urban landscapes.
Can you offer Kevin and I some feedback with this in mind?

Ok, let's go:
emraphoto: Stormy seascape. I like the mood. Perhaps huge size of this image can be scary. Interesting.
AusDLK: I think I am disconnected from the time axis in this scape. Magenta/Blue are beautifully intertwined and I feel far from the subject. The kid playing is very out of tune with the scape.
Kevin: I am in hope I'll find what kind of items are in the Museum in connection with Architecture, but the building itself is fine art and visualy attractive. Can be more interesting if this shot been taken from far back. I like the wall structure.
shiro_kuro: Flat composition, but interesting, because the creek takes a small proportion of the scape, but being in the middle of the image holds great deal of power. Silent scape

@emraphoto.......I think you succeeded in capturing many different moods in this sea scape ...The dark and light reflecting off the water and the light pouring through the clouds really creates drama and tension as the storm clears ...I also like the way the light in the clouds lead your eye through the image ...
