(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) – I really like the engine as the focus of the photo. I might have liked to have seen a little more of the front of the engine, including smoke stack and cow catcher.
(2) BACKGROUND – While out of your control, I don’t care for the background in the upper quarter of the photo. And I really can’t tell if the brown object (top, left center) is part of the engine or in the background. Finally, the red sheet should have been straightened and smoothed.
(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL – Very good use of DOF; very good lighting.
(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL – I have no recommendations.
(5) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO – A good photo; clearly meets challenge. I scored it a little better than your average score. I think the red sheet was probably the primary detractor here, though out of your control. Too bad you couldn’t have hung a blue sheet behind the whole engine to clean up the entire background.
