Well said M
Urban...
adj.
1. Of, relating to, or located in a city.
2. Characteristic of the city or city life.
I seem to have caused a stir, first of all every picture in this comp is excellent in it's own way, in my interpretation of urban, I feel a sense of inner city/town from a street level is important, the photo should exhibit the human interactions within this environment, I feel the key point is the majority of definitions of Urban, the word IN is used, 'in the city', 'in the urban environment.
There seems to be images in the comp which I would class more of a cityscape, taken outside the urban environment,
cityscape - a viewpoint toward a city or other heavily populated area.
It would seem strange that you have voted for a photo that to me says neither 'in the city' nor 'in the town'.
Sorry I rubbed you up the wrong way, I'm sorry Darren for ramming it down your throat and using dictionary definitions and not wikkipedia and I'm also sorry for using the word sausage, I'm off, hope you all have an amazing new year!
I'm off out now to take an urban night cityscape of a Cotswold rural cottage, at miday with a Labrador called ken.
Bye bye.

I like sausages.
Reminds me of a poem.
One fine day in the middle of the night
Two dead photographers got up to fight
Back to back they faced each other
Drew their DSLR's and shot a lovely semi-urban nightscape of a rural cottage.
You're a harsh man Jim

Hmm... was this all my fault?
There Was a Harsh Man From The North.....
With a tongue as long as the Forth
There Was a Harsh Man From The North
With a tongue as long as the Forth
And surely as sharp as a sword
When his pussycat roared
There Was a Harsh Man From The North
With a tongue as long as the Forth
And surely as sharp as a sword
When his pussycat roared
He jumped in his Ford
And was never seen henceforth

A nice little experiment and voyage of discovery for you.....
....go to flickr, now search for urban, take note of the style of image in the majority of shots...
...now search for cityscape!
The difference is pretty clear, Urban is Urban, a cityscape isn't!!!!!

When entering you also accept that criticism will come your way and have to be able to take it, what I don't like are sarcastic comments when others don't agree with a person's train of thought. As a newbie to the forums it is understandable though as that is what goes on on most other forums, I like to think that AVForums, or rather this section at least are unlike most forums, the reason I come on here.
Hopefully, that makes some sense. Looking forward to seeing your entry next month.
Here, Here! I quite agree.
