Greetings from the Critique Club.

Hi Andrew,

Welcome to DPC. Congratulations on your first challenge entry.

To sumarise the comments below the shot is over-exposed. This means that the combination of your aperture, shutter-speed and ISO let too much light in. As a result the subject as a whole is too bright, and parts of it are blown-out (the bits on the leaves where it is so white that you can't make out the detail). In order to deal with this you need to control and limit the light that is allowed through to your sensor. A higher aperature number would mean a smaller hole for the light to pass through, a faster shutter-speed would mean less time for the light to pass through, and a lower ISO would mean the sensor needs to be exposed to the same light longer. Using these three variables you can control the exposure of your shot better. The Canon tutorial on the following website explains how these work together:

I hope my comments help and Good Luck in future Challenges!

Cheers
Paul

I'm having trouble figuring out what's going on here. Where's the action?

I want to know what's at the bottom of the rope/cable?! Such a tease this image is. ;^) It's a nice shot of a helicopter. Don't take this the wrong way, but it feels a bit static - like a product shot or something. No major drama or wow factor. JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.

I'm missing the thing he lifts. The action is not there.

The light on the plant seems way blown out. Also, the top of the weed looks either a bit out of focus ro as if it was moving just a bit. I do like the curved shape cutting through the image though with the leaves making upside down U's.
