Nice shot - you seem to be one of many people who visited a fairground. I like the duration of your shot - capturing a slice of the circle only is very effective. Good focus and exposure help make this an effective shot.

Aw rats - I thought this was oneof the best pictures of the week. How did it get down here? I gave it a 9 and I didn't give any tens this week.

Composition-Content: Panning. Truck and good colors.
Background: The colors on the wall in the back are really good and pleasing to the eye.
Camera Work: Very clever panning. This gives the feeling of movement, and the truck looks like it's floating. Of course there is not a driver since it's not real.
Opinion: Creative thinking, and done very well. I wish the back of the truck was seen.

This looks like a fake panning shot. The ground doesn't look connected to the wheels though and that's why it looks fake IMO. All in all though it's pretty good - Inspzil

Grreat job on a classic sort of pic. This truck looks like it's flying! Very nice. Color, and contrast are good, so is composition.

Why did you crop the truck out of the picture. I realize that when something is going in a particular direction, you want to get in front of the subject matter because that is of more importance, but why not just resize. You did a decent job here. :-)

Crystal Blue

Comment by Gracious:
I like this very much. The crystal is interesting to begin with and the way you used light adds even more interest.
The background works perfectly. Did you use fabric as a backdrop? What really adds intrigue is the various shapes, like the beams of varying blues radiating from near the upper left corner. My attention is drawn up to it, then it directs my eyes back to the subject.
The circular curves also guide my eyes around the image. All the subtle shapes make up a great composition.
The base of the crystal has a liquid appearance that is pleasing, and suggests motion, adding to the appeal.
Technically everything seems to be in order...focus is good, exposure is very fine with good detail where needed.
Overall you have combined good technique, interesting subject, fascinating lighting, and wonderful diagonals and curves. Ya did real good! :-)
