Greetings from the critique Club,

Hi Christian,

That looks like fun. I asusme you get pulled up the hill and can free run down the other side, or something like that. I think one reason this shot struggled is that very few of the voters are familiar with this form of entertainment. Unfortunately many will mark you down if they can't make sense of the shot.

The other reason this would have been voted down is that it looks a bit like a holiday snap-shot. The main reason for this is the busy foreground and background of green - it does distract from the main subject.

Please don't stop submitting photos; instead do start taking the challenge more seriously. It is great to have you involved. If you look at your voting distribution some voters obviously liked the shot. Keep at it.

Cheers
Paul

Uhm, lets all just forget about this one, deal? Note to self: Never submit a holiday photo when no one else gets it and don't share the memory of it.

Sigh. I think I either need to stop submitting photos, or start taking this more seriously.

Thanks to all of you that bothered to vote, and especially those who commented.

How'd this look in B/W? Personally I think the green foliage may be distracting. JMO of course. Might get hit by a few on the centered composition also. Good luck. Hope it does well for you.

I really like how clearly the subject(s) are in focus.
