Too out of focus. Subject is a bit uninspired. The green field distracts a bit. A shorter shutter speed would definitely improve this shot, but maybe a different point of view even more.

Wow! Great stop action. I like the misty. . .or I guess it's dusty look to this. It gives the feel of motion and the dust flying up everywhere. Really a neat photo.

Good idea. For me, the runner could be a bit more in focus.

Lacks some focus, duocolor could have saved it?

I prefer photos with sharp focus on at least SOME areas of the pic.

It seems like you have raised tht brightness too much. The shadows don't seem dark enough.

Looks like indoor lighting was hampering your effort a little.

Comment by Rikki:
In as much as this makes for a good image, the silhouette doesn`t carry the image in it`s entirety. What this needs is a good swatch of color. Had you shot a bit later than this and adjusted the colors to create the beautiful colors of sunrise, I think this would make for a really strong image. The subject that is really important in this image is the sun yet there isn`t enough of it. Patience is key. The concept of this image is good and I applaud you for getting up really early to capture this shot. The silhouette could use a bit of sharpness specially since this was shot at a fairly fast shutter speed. The digital grain doesn`t lend to the overall image as well.

I am sure you can potentially reshoot this image. Might I suggest you give it another try? Practice makes perfect as they say. I would be willing to give you another critique if you decide to reshoot this image.

If you have any questions about my critique or wish to discuss other items pertinent to this comment, please do not hesitate to reach me via PM.

Cheers,
