Does speeding really save time?by
fsieradzkiComment by Yomi: Ok this is my first try at an in depth critique so don't know anything too personal or if I miss something cause I'm learning and I figure I'll learn things from helping out with the critique club. This was one of my favorite shots of the week.
COMPOSITION - I like the angle where you took this shot. At first I thought you were tilting the camera a little, but the houses in the background are straight. It looks like the truck knocked the pole a little. The exposure seems just a tad bright. The reflections on the trucks roof are perfect for the situation. I would have liked to see it cropped a little less on the right to get more of the truck's back in the shot.
BACKGROUND- The background seems fine for the situation. It's not cluttered with onlookers and you've blocked a lot of it with how close you are to the truck which is good, cause I don't think it would have looked as good if the background had cars and was messy.
CAMERA WORK- Focus and sharpness are good. The DOF is good, I thought what it would have looked like with a bigger aperature, but then I thought that the background is fine.
Digital Processing- It is fine. There are a few small artifacts or jaggies(whatever they are) around the grass in the shadow and the lines in the truck bed are a little jaggy. But they are just small things.
My Opinion- As I said that this was one of my favorite shots. It fit the theme perfectly, and it was very powerful. The message of your title was great too. Thanks for sharing this shot was great!
