*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
An appealing image that meets the challenge well.
What I like most about your image is the crop it makes the image very appealing and so much more interesting than the bog standard 'chuck it in the middle' approach that is so often seen. However, what lets it down badly is what I suspect to be camera shake. I'm not sure what size your lens was but as you are probably already aware your shutter speed needs to be correspondingly higher as you go further up the telephoto range. There is no sharpness anywhere which has also been exacerbated by your cropping in on it, perhaps at original resolution you may have got away with it, but it is plainly evident here I'm afraid.
It is essential to meet this challenge that you caught the flame in a very obvious sort of way and this you have achieved, well done. The sky is a very vivid blue I think it would benefit from being toned a little, it is quite overpowering as it is.
It's a shame that it wasn't sharper it would have scored higher but thanks for submitting, Sid. |
