Greetings from the critique club,

This is a tough one for me to critique. I have spent a long time looking at it, and I am struggling to put my finger on exactly what I would suggest to improve it. Here are my thoughts ...

This is very nicely exposed for a night shot. I like the details in both the highlights and the shadows. It is nice and sharp, even with the long exposure.

I like the light coming in from the side and below. It has an eerie quality, which seems appropriate for an empty playground at night. Kind of creepy.

I like the idea of having the slide come down and meet the bottom corner, but I feel like the composition is a bit unbalanced. The empty space on the right side doesn't seem like effective use of negative space to me. The interesting parts of the image are the lines of the bars and they are all clustered on the left side but somehow I find my eye staring out into the emptiness over on the right. It is hard to explain, but it lessens the impact of the iamge for me. The best suggestion I can think of would be to somehow crop in tighter without losing the long leading line of the slide.

Cheers,
Liza

The slide ends so suddenly. I would suggest either to show it in the whole glory, or to use unusual angle to make it look more like an abstract. The colours are nice, the focus is not bad. Just the whole composition is a bit unplanned. Although for the decent quality, I'm bumping it a bit higher.

The light is offputting to me, not because it's bad -- it's really directional and kind of interesting -- but because it's lighting the underside of the slide when we're seeing instead so much of the top. I like the eerieness of the picture and the leading line the slide creates, though.

This would have been better for me if the ramp of the slide was also illuminated somehow.

i think the ball is too far in the corner, there is so much of the pic that is out of focus, its almost hard to look at. I like the idean and the title fits well.
