I'd have to say I'd be a little upset if that guy banged those snares in my ear. I might have to push him over the edge. lol. Looks like this was taken at a game or something. The angle and framing/cropping are ok. I'm really glad you didn't cut off his foot here. The focus and clarity seem good too. I like the slight motion blurr on his sticks. Good luck in the challenge.

Interesting shot, a bit of sharpening or more contrast would have worked even better; I think.

Interesting composition. The background is a little busy. Are they going to the game? It would make a great photojournalism shot.

He appears to be blowing a whistle also. Can I ask what he thinks he is doing? This is what I call being in the right place at the right time. Great picture, well done, and human interest. This one grabs your attention and makes you want to know more about that man. Great photojournalism picture.

Composition - I feel this image is spoiled by the inclusion of the snow in the foreground, If you had just the trees and that glorious sky it would have been a better composition.
Background - your sky is beautiful.
Camera work Your technical camera work is excellent beautifully exposed.The offending snow is also correctly exposed, it so often can look dingy and dull. Focus good.
Digital processing Maybe lighten the trees a tad.
My Opinion I liked the image but felt it just fell short somehow I think it didn't have a strong enough focal point, and the snow was
to distracting.

good composition with the straps behind the drummer "holding him up as he rides the bridge". the drummer facing the crowd gives good direction to the photo. good color. works for me.
