 this was taken in Sandusky Ohio it has the roof of the oldest building in the park circa 1880's in the middle is the Giant Wheel build in 1972 and in the background is Wicked Twister 1992. I took this photo from the tram ride as I was leaving the park it was the last shot of the day. personally I think the technical aspects as far as positioning and framing the shot are 8 caliber. I don't think it will score very high on the emotion meter though. we will see.

Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club

First Impression: This seems to be a very busy image and I find my eyes flitting from place to place never really settling on anything in particular apart from the bird droppings.

Composition: Well, you were in a moving tram so you were really stuck for moving around to get a better angle. The main focus is on the front dome but its a little central for my liking and think if you managed to capture the big wheel between the domes things would look a lot better. You could also have cropped out the foreground to where the main dome starts,

Subject: Yes, I can see cirlces (or parts of them) so this meets the challenge but doesn't go further than that for me sorry

Technical: A decent sky and the exposure doesn't have any major issues though the overall image is a little flat, lacking contrast and doesn't 'pop'. I don't think you needed F/22 here nomatter what end of the zoom you were on.

Final thoughts: As a reminder of your day out this is a keeper so if thats what you were aiming to achieve then your work is done :)

Nice lighting and colors, but the circle isn't prominent enough, 5.

IMO this is a bit dark in color and if you had done a little more step editing and moved to the right a bit more...you wouldn't have had the little peak on the left in the shot and you would have still gotten in all the main circles that you needed in your shot...

Can't really see the circles.. but I think as a photo.. a little colours and contrast would be good..
