It's a great capture, but the partial head on the left and on the right are quite distracting. Nothing much you can do about it, but it lessens an otherwise interesting shot.

Seems to be too many bright colours up front, distracting from the subject.

I only wish those two kids who have a sliver of their head in the picture were not in it.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

I have to agree with the peanut gallery on this one. The foremost cone isn't the one holding the most interest, it's the ones farther back where the crash/fall occurred. Frankly I'd like to see a few of the bg cones knocked over too. The bike is down, so seems likely that there is a cone or two knocked down as well, no?

Otherwise, the composition is quite decent with both thirds and lines leading back to the downed bike. But the very shallow dof means you have excellent focus where nothing is happening, and oof where all the interesting stuff is taking place.

Hope this helps, feel free to PM me with any questions,

Susan

I would have cropped more left and right but then again, I am not sure. The child left is distracting but I suppose you could not have cropped more. Good luck.
