Photo Critiques

[emilin]

I find that last post very amusing.

Alek: Excellent spacing, and an interesting mix of buildings. I little more eclectic (is that a word in enlish too?) than your usual style, which makes for an even more organic look. Extra bonus for the car crash on the main road.

NASCAR: Uh? A garbage incinirator on a tiny desert island with an unfinished bridge and the grid still turned on... what is that? I'll give you a small extra point for the nice water mod though.

i think that pic must be a joke 

that being said 9/10

Hi ! What do you think about my Eiffel Tower under the snow ? This is my first post on yours site !

[NikNik]

Alek. Nice pic!
Accident in the midle? Bummer!  (reading Emilin's post I noticed that he noticed it too)

I love the repetition.
Why is the waterboard in the middle? Guess the rest developped around it LOL.

NASCAR_guy: Interesting bridge! But grid still turned on (Press G before taking pics).
Why do you believe this is such an interesting pic?

Adriano57.
Now that's a picture.
You didn't have to show of your photo editing skills as the area is a gem in itself. But I love the snowy picture!
The embankments are perfect even though Marrast's are considered old by some I love the use of them here.
With porkies lots you almost cannot go wrong and you made a splendid piece of work. I like the elevated rail crossing the river. It's almost as in Paris.
Those appartment buildings across the Eifel tower are also well chosen!
No other comments, just sheer joy: 10 / 10

i guess the area around the water board is a cluster of older Chicago/NY style
skyscrapers i wanted to kinda copy an old water tower kinda thing.

Air6

One  list:
Excellent branding (not garish but clear and neat)
Looks like a view out of the plane window to a place I want to call home.
Nice balance of uses and zones.
Nice pathing in the forest, very inviting

One thing to nit pick in my MONK mode:
you left two minimize boxes in the bottom. No harm no fowl.

[Alek King of SC4]

air6 i love the brown fields i do that my self it gives a seemless transition from road diagonals which obviously you exploite as well  too see what i mean look at his diagonals along the road, ave, no "step" effect.

marcszar:very nice work, i love how consistent you always are with you BAT choices, the picture is flawless. 
I have  one kinda problem with using those BATs like that and that is when i build a city big enough to have that
kind of development (mid/high density) and if i only try to use those kinda BATs (NY/Chicago look) that it gets way too repetitive, so do you do different districts or what? i would, love to see one of your region shots.

[Giligone]

Marcszar excellent pic! The desaturation effect you've used really compliments the old style of buildings. Very well done. 9/10

Here's a new shot of the recently re-done downtown shore in my city.

Gilgone: Great shot!
I really like the intense colors. Also nice to see that you did something with your waterfront. 
My only criticism is that you need to get some new residential BATs.

sepsis: Great shot as usual. I love how you mixed together the embankments, subway enterances and museum to make it all look like one building. The underwater tunnel is also very cool. All in all, excellent work. 

Here's one from me, a preview shot from my upcoming CJ, Rondalsfjord, built on the Shosaloza map.
(Yes, I am going to join once i feel that i've done enough to start a CJ)

i got one...be gentle

[emilin]

Cali: The planning is rather realistic with the open spaces and the golf course. A good suburban feel. And I like the single highrise (makes for a European feel despite using mostly American style buidlings).

The picture quality is not very good though. You should probably do something about that. It would make the experience much better for the viewer.

[szarkoz]

Mulefisk - what you did with buddybud's embankments, ploppable water and photoshop editing to make the canal is just perfect! I would only suggest cleaning up those messed up fragments where the water is being "cut" by the embankments into little stripes. What I also love is the placement of that church (cathedral?) on the hill, and the road that goes uphill. Maybe there is too many cars on it, but I know you can't have the perfect control over that. The overall photoshop editing (or to be more specific, overall quality improvement) makes the picture clean.
Truly, truly great work! 9/10

I've got my own picture to show. It's not very realistic, it's more a playing for fun and sculpting a city. The rail depot that you can see is actually a start of a harbour and an industrial port.

[Cali]

thanks Emilin, i need to figure out how to post higher quality pictures and use the minimal amout of bandwidth.
mulefisk- great work, love the use of those walls. 8/10

Hello ! It's my first post here. Excuse me for my bad english 
I want to show you a screen of my city, to know if it's rather well. If it was, I would show you other screens in a new topic.

[meinhosen]

Antoine - That's a good use of jeronij's walls, the trail parks, and trees.  The water flora isn't bad, but it seems a bit out of place.  The park in the middle right side of the picture is nice, too (but again seems a tad out of place with the dark brick textures).  I'm sure that you don't hear it much, but the background you have off the edge of the map brightens the entire picture and adds a nice ambience to the scene.  Along with the water mod and the flora, it gives a real Caribbean feel to the area.

Mulefisk and szarkoz - Those are fantastic.  I'm very impressed.

Here's my contribution:



Yes, it has a bit of Photoshopping done to it.

[Antoine]

it gives a real Caribbean feel to the area.

thank you it's the feel I search  #stsfd·

I love your screen  It's so realist

[keithsed]

What fall color trees are you using?  I like them.  They seem to be more realistic than some I've seen where the entire tree is one color.  It looks like your have several fall colors.  Very Nice
