** Greetings from the Critique Club **

A really fun shot! The composition is excellent. You did a very good job of keeping the exposure settings under control, preventing any blown out areas. The sky - due to time of day most likely - could use a bit more color. Perhaps with an adjustment in color balance or saturation this would have given the sky more depth and blue tone - which in turn would have added pop to the rest of the image.
Your timing was great - good choice of shuuter spped!

This has a good vybe that I like - - dare I say 'fun'. But for For some reason this photo would seem more original if there were no humans in it. I like this time of day for the shadows and colored cast to the image - I think the familiarity of this type of image makes it seem like just a snap-type shot - which isn't necessarilly bad! 7

That's wood. Good action capture with cooperative subjects.

White painted wood on light blue sky background does not stand out. The strong dark red rails do. People are having a great time except for the third row, the blue t-shirt in the fourth row and the second last lady at the top left row. I can`t figure out why the composition seems to be missing something. Small left triangle shape at lower left corner and huge vertical drop line across the middle send me off the page and downward. I would like a close-up on the faces or an angle from the falling seats. Great looking structure. 5 pointer cause I love coasters. Good luck.

Nice action shot. The wood definitely takes a supporting role. Good exposure.

Weeeee! The one ride at Kennywood my daughter still isn't tall enough to go on. Oddly enough, we *could* go on the Phantom's Revenge! :)

Nice capture. Movement of cars was caught very well, with great clarity. Image was perhaps corrected too much with the brightness. A little less brightness and maybe a bit more contrast may have gotten the image to junp out better.

Great action shot. IT seems blanched out - probably because of the time of day. I love their happy faces!!
