Merry Go Round

Hi from the Critique Club...

Very colorful image here! I love the motion of the merry go round.

I would have liked it better if something was in focus, it looks like you tried it hand held. 4 seconds is a long time! The other thing is the light in the center is really bright and is a distraction. I don't know if there was another angle that would have minimized it, or if that's just the way it was. In any event, a large distracting element like that will get lower scores than one without.

I think it's quite artistic, even with all elements blurred and I rather like it. Now that the challenge is over, maybe you could try cloning the light out and see how you like it.

Motion blur shots tend to be risky entries unless the challenge has a blur theme. I thought this one deserved a better placement. I liked it one and gave it a 7.

Greetings from the Critique Club.
Hello Ankur, I̢۪m Alan.

Usually, I look at the photo first, then go to photographers comments and never look at other comments. Had you not mentioned the boy, I would have not considered it, important, now my eye is drawn.
As for the portrait, Outstanding, yea-yea the background could have been improved, but realistically we have what we have. I think if you would have blurred the background further, I doubt you would have passed a review by the SC. Keep doing this type of work, no doubt I will see you soon on the home page.
Alan

He appears to have seen more in his young years than some of us as adults! Great expression! : )

Nice perspective! The sky is a little harsh in my opinion but i love the colors at the foreground. Maybe some dodge and saturation at the man's face would be nice too.

Very colorful, though his head merges with the background a bit. I like the combination of exotic scarves with the D&G shirt!
