Seattle Skyline with Mount Rainier

This photo had great potential, and it was tapped into. However, it's not as good as it could be. The sense of depth is incredible and the colors are fantastically appealing to the eye. The main subject, the Space Needle, is very striking amidst the city. Then, the other buildings guide the viewer's eyes towards Mt. Ranier, a wonderful background object. The focus is also great, keeping this piece powerful. There is one little thing that keeps this photo from fulfilling its true potential, and that is the row of trees on the bottom of the screen. They can be very distracting to the viewer. The colors and the striking subject are what cause viewers to stop and look at this piece, but once they look closer, they can notice the distraction. If those trees were gone, this piece would have a higher rating. Overall, it's very nice, but it's not perfect.
