:star::star::star::star::star-half: Overall

:star::star::star::star::star: Originality
:star::star::star::star::star: Technique
:star::star::star::star::star-empty: Impact

I'm going to start off talking about geometry and colour.
-The angle in which you've taken this shot and the attention to lighting has turned a prison-like looking building into an amazing composition of shapes - the grey shadows over the pitch-black windows are contrasting to the brilliant white light that the of the sunlight coming from the opposite side. The shapes created are also adding to the abstract effect of this photograph which is making a very real building seam very surreal.
- The blue sky is like a gem as the vibrant colour contrasts the greyscaled building that's reaching up to it. It's almost as if it's an escapee's tunnel. In a very poetic form of thinking, you might be able to imagine someone trying to escape the clutches of a dull institutionalised life (perhaps from time in prison) reaching for the blue in the sky which could symbolise hope.

Now to the ratings: -
- The Vision is almost immaculate albeit still stunning. There are specs of detail in the brilliant white of the sunlight which if edited out could improve the image and add to the surrealism of this photograph. This may be unfounded, however, as I make this observation as a viewer and not a professional photographer.
- The Originality of the photograph in my opinion is 100% and deserves the full five stars. I do not see any imitation in it.
- The Technique (again in the opinion of a viewer only) seems pretty spot on as the angles and attention to lighting as mention before really do this photograph justice.
- The Impact: To be fair this image has stood out but in comparison to the many works I've seen and critiqued I have given it a fairly high rating but not the full five stars. Please do not be disheartened by this as overall this is an excellent example of architectural photography.
