I really like the capture of the peak, although I feel that the foreground is a bit too dark.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi Ace...

"Passing Time" encompasses a lot of things we do in our daily routine. It's a bit difficult to really understand what these things are sometimes. When are we "not" passing time? Maybe when we are being productive, we don't consider our activities to be pastimes... Maybe anything we consider to be leisurely is a good example of passing time.

This image didn't score very well in the challenge and you didn't get much feedback on it at all. I believe this photo fell into the middle grounds, which often don't produce any feedback and mediocre scores. This seems to happen when the image has no particular interest, but has no particular flaws either. The photo didn't inspire anyone to say anything about it. There are no 'simple' errors in the image that could be commented on in a hurry. There are no outstanding characteristics that would inspire 'wow' in the viewer either.

This image has a lot of things to look at. It's probalby a little overpowering to the viewer. Your 'subject' is almost lost in the lines and shapes of the carousel. Your subject isn't being presented in any way that interests me as a viewer. Beyond meeting the challenge, this photo doesn't do much.

Exposure seems to be good! I wonder what it would have looked like if you had gotten a reflection of the peak in that water there? It's cool how the sun peeked through to light up the peak.

This has the makings of a great shot. The problem is the distracting background and the flat lighting. Improving on these aspects would greatly improve the impact.
