boots and rocks make for great texture, don't center items in your pictures.

Comment by Alecia:
i really like the colors in this photo---the blues and oranges work well together. overall this photo has a very surreal quality to it--probably a blend of the colors and motion. reminds me of a scene from a david lynch movie, which is cool. technically, it is fine--i have nothing to offer by way of opinion here! compositionally tho, i probably would have cropped more off the top--perhaps having the top yellow line of the merry go round almost at the top of the frame to get the sky out of the shot. nice work!

Nice shot. Had the people in front been standing still too, it wouldn't have worked. Very interesting given the near focus that you have on the merry-go-round. Seems almost like somebody ran in and out of the shot.

Great idea but you should have framed the ride better

This was a good idea. I think one way this could have been made a wonderful photo was by stopping the poeple in motion and let the Merry-Go-Round Blur nicely. I realize that would have been staged, but that would have Given a better overall score because I would have been able to see things I really look for when Grading. I look for a photo that I would hang on my wall.

Overall Score.

I think this would have been really good if the people wouldn't have been standing in front of you.

Personally I'd probably like this better if you'd been able to get a clear shot without the people in the foreground.
