General: The spinning umbrella depicts motion very well. The shadows generated by the spinning add interest. Unfortunately the colour of the umbrella and the colour of the background are too close and actually clash a bit. Did you try this with different colour backgrounds? White posterboard might have worked very well.

Composition: Good choice in doing this in the portrait (vertical) format. A bit more room on the top and less on the bottom could probably work even better.

Exposure: Exposure seems to be correct. There are no blown out areas nor are there too many dark areas with no detail.

Impact: Some impact is achieved due to the spinning motion of the umbrella but as mentioned already the background detracts from this. A plain, light coloured background would probably add impact.


Good choice for the 'Speed' challenge. Keep shooting.

nice, though the background detracts from the subject a bit. :o)

nice but perhaps a contrasting background would have given more emphisis to the subject matter.

The color of the umbrella and background don't do much for me. More contrast with the colors would have been more appealing and shown the "speed" more.
