Critique Club critique:

Composition/Content: The bright colors and shape against the black background give this photo "Wow". The center of focus appears to be in the center of the photo where the yellow lines have more contrast with their background. I woulk like to have seen the center of the wheel or the structure holding the wheel more in focus to give the eye an anchor to latch on to and wander from.
Background: The black background gives the bright colors great contrast.
Camera Work/Technical: Exposure is very good. Focus appears to be center weighted and might be better either towards the center of the wheel or widened.
Digital Processing: Color is balanced and nice and bright.
My Opinion: I usually don't like titles having to explain a photograph. I would like to have seen more of the structure or something in the picture that told me this was a ferris wheel. When I first looked at it, I thought it was a toy or a fan. Anyway, this is a great photo and a great idea.

Technically, cows are bred by men, but that's really pushing nit. Very interesting shot! I wouldn't have DQ'd it, but prolly a good thing to have the admin comment. 10 Swash

Like this shot a lot. Nice composition, love that you decided on the reflection instead of just taking a straight on shot of the beast. Has a very nice "painterly" feel to it. 9

I expect you're going to have a rough week. This species of animal would never have existed if mankind hadn't cultivated it. This is, however, a wonderful shot, and I for one, don't plan to mark you down on the technicality... Great shot!

I don't see where a domestic cow falls into "untouched by the hand of man" however it is a great reflection.

Interesting effect. The lighting looks a little poor. The cropping is nice, the border is fitting, and the layout looks good.
