Hello from the Critique Club:
I have studied your image and have the following to offer:
Composition/perspective: the subject has excellent position in the frame. Flying 'into' the picture and obviously taking off. I say this as the only distraction in the shot I see as far as composition is the background. I feel the road/driveway takes away from the subject as it cuts right through it. I feel it would be stronger with an uninterrupted background. The feeling of flight and take-off would still be completely obvious. Your DoF is perfect for the image as well. The blurred background gives the feeling of height somewhat. Again, this would be stronger with a solid background. Perhaps this could have been achieved with a different perspective.
Color: the delicate structure of the plane allows the small areas of color on the wings to stand out and accentuate the shape and profile. The use of a matching border color really adds to the completeness of the image. All colors appear accurately represented.
Light: natural light, used very well. No blown out or dull/dark areas. Everything is evenly lit with no glare on the wings.
Challenge: in my opinion, this may be the weakest area of the image. Without the title to put it into the challenge, the image of the plane itself does not portray any risk. If there were other items in the image to support 'risk' as in power lines, children, houses (all risks if flying the plane nearby) it would make more sense on its own, as it is, without the title it presents little in the way of 'risk.'
Overall/my opinion: I like the image. For some reason when I see it I think of having fun. Same as I do when I am flying my kites. as stated above, I find the background disturbing in the respect that it is not solid. I like the detail and clarity of the plane itself and feel you captured it perfectly. |

| This does not say risky to me...if the title wasn't there, I'd see a crisp image of a toy plane. |

| I like this image a lot ... FWIW, I'd rate it higher in another challenge (DOF, motion, free study, etc, just not risk). |
