I understand what you are doing but the flash only annoys. the composition is really good with that ceiling and yes, as youv'e heard, th efocus is off. but altogether, its ok.

You caught a ride on someone elses flash? Or slave? Cieling is well lit and dramatic.

hi and happy new year! lynn from the CC here, I am intimidated givng thoughts on a SC members shot : ) and I am new at this.. but here goes my thoughts...While I like silhoutted type shots, what I think this one is missing(my biggest criticism) is a little is detail in the dark areas, I think if you are going to have your main subject 'blackened' it is nice if there is lots of detail to highlight the shapes to make it really jump. So perhaps using a subject of a kind of tree that is a little more 'branchy?' just an idea. This shot however does have (the highlight of this shot which IMO), is the beautiful light coming from behind the cloud/tree. The bright edge of the cloud is lovely too. I would like to see the left side cropped a little tighter. I do like that your title and border are more subtle still in nature, hence not distracting from the image. BTW I agree with you that the shot has tensions in it, which I also like. Happy shooting : ), hope it helped a little.

Beautiful atmospheric element. I might crop a little off the bottom though (probably half the dark "stuff") to put more emphasis on the sky. Are you referring to the sky as the "golden" gate? I can see where the GG is *i think* but it's a stretch. Nice work.

I like the idea and the scene is very nice. I do think the focus is a bit over sharpened or there was some camera movement.

Comment by Olyuzi:
The dark colors give me an impression of a depressed holiday spirit and if it weren't for your title, I would think that was the tackiness here.

I assume the flash is the action in this shot. Good job of capturing it. Not really sure how "Action" it is.

Good. Doesn't match the title, but the photo is good.
