7 Red Stripes

Comment by soccerdad:
I voted on this image and never got back to give you a comment, and I meant to. First, the colors on this shot are perfect, the timing is excellent with the tip of the flag folding over on itself, and the crop, with the flag itself as the subject is decent.

I voted you a six, with the above items foremost in my mind. What might get a better score is to crop so that the stripes are more prominent as Heather suggested below. Also, you might consider something like Neat image to take out a little noise and give a little sharpening that doesn't destroy the image.

One last thought: because this is an international site, it is generally hard to do well with an national flag, but, that said, this would be perfect for "Wind."

Good luck.

Nice! The train blur makes it look like it's moving right along. 8

Very nice display of motion. The fixed sign is definitely fixed. It is neat how close the bottom of the sign comes to the top of the engine. I love the composition except fot the vines or whatever covering the railroad crossing sign on the right side. A 9.

Nice. Would have been better to get a little more movement in the train, and perhaps framing the front.

Clearly meets the challenge. Focus of the moving flag is well done. Nice vibrant colors. Sky could be a bit more dramatic but with basic editing, there's not much you can do except wait for thunderstorms. I am as patriotic as the next guy, but the subject doesn't grab or hold my interest.
