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.

I love the colors. The dual focus of Mt. Ranier and the Space Needle is great. You really get a sense of depth with this picture. There seems to be a lot of cool contrast in this photo with the varying heights of the buildings as compared to the Space Needle and Mt. Ranier. It does also give the viewer the sense of how built-up Seattle is with all the clustered buildings together as they are. Also good contrast between the congestion of the closer view and the relative isolation of the distant view. There is a lot of character in this photo which is why I like it.

Just bought this for our home in Colorado. We're Pacific Northwest transplants and we're decorating our living area with nothing but northwest landscapes and Seattle sport memorabilia. Thank for this beautiful picture.

I love this!! It looks like you took two incredible photographs and made it into a super incredible photograph (for lack of better words). Knowing the area very well, it's not been easy lately to capture such beauty in both nature and urban life, but you've accomplished this beautifully! Washington is wonderful but she requires patience and you appear to have bounds of it for her. Great job!!!

I miss Seattle so much... I moved to Oklahoma 6 years ago and sometimes I still think I see Mt. Rainier in the clouds on occasion before I realize where I am. It makes me sad.

Great shot. Love the colours of the sky and Mount Rainier! I never get to see that mountain when I am in Seattle. Lucky you! :D
