Great sense of motion, brilliant colors and enough sharpness to capture some great expressions. But this day is more than cloudy - it looks like the background was isolated and replaced with plain white.
Lighting, color, contrast and content are exceptional. The solid white background works especailly well for this image. Should be in the hunt for a ribbon.
The composition is enhanced by the angle of the capture. Very dynamic and gives the sense of motion. The subjects are more enhanced by the white background. almost like an abstract because of the beautiful curve in the coaster.
This is how the photos you can purchase after riding should look. Then maybe more people would buy. "10"
Something about the extreme sharpness of those edges speaks of an edited high-key exclusion of background, rather than a simple effect of exposure - and gives it an edited unreality that runs against the suggestion of spontaneity in the image itself. I don't like that effect, personally, though its very competently executed.
I think if the image gave a sense of speed it would rate higher. Next time, try panning the cars and then snap the photo. The background wouldn't matter since it's all gray anyway but the tracks would be blurred giving the impression of speed.
Well captured and fantastic composition. I like the white background though it's a bit obvious on looking for any length of time that this has been done in PS (look at heads of leading passengers). Neverthelss a striking image. Well done.
Really, really cool shot. However, it's distracting with teh all-white background. Maybe if you left the regular background in and used a layer to blur it, it may have worked a bit better or got you a ribbon. However, it still may get a ribbon. It's definitely eye-caching and obviously took a lot of work. GOod luck!
