Nice photo, but I feel the focus is more on the girls then the bench.

This is so cute, the motion and depth of field that throws the focus on the boy with the balloon works beautifully. A little longer shutter speed to show even more motion might make this picture even stronger. The balance between the balloon and the boy is brilliant though. So cute!! I might have cloned out the words on the balloon though.

Hesitant Winter Rider

Comment by kteach:
Well, I was assigned this shot for the Critique Club... so lets start with my previous comment and see if I can find anything else to add now that I'm taking another look at this shot.

I had mentioned that there was a nice range of tones, and I stand by that. It has a good contrast to it, but taking a closer look, perhaps there are a few areas of the snow which got blown out a bit? As I look at this more, I realize that there are no other people in the photo. I'm not sure if that works for or against the photo... more people keep you looking longer, but also might be too cluttering and take the focus off the rider. I think if we had been able to see the hesitant expression on his face, it would have been more powerful, but sometimes you don't have the time to compose that shot, and I personally wouldn't have had the guts to stick a camera in this guys face if he wasn't up for it. Lastly, considering this was advanced editing, I might have burned that light mark on the back of his jacket.. my eye keeps getting pulled into that area.

From the challenge: Title your image with your chosen acronym, and let your image explain what the letters represent!

As such you shouldn't put in your title what the letters mean. Thats what the picture was supposed to do.
