Kite Flying Weather

Comment by frisca:
that's a pretty high kite. Seems as if it was a bit far away from you, so the kite and the sky seem a little 'noisy' as they say! Good representation of weather, however!

Nice idea but framing is too central and focus a little soft. 6 - floyd

I like the idea of this photo, I do however think it could have been improved by a closer shot.

The color is beautiful. I bet it was a magnificant sight to see. However, this picture is badly out of focus and does not give this sun rise justice. Plus, the magenta inner border badly distracts. It doesn't match any of the color in the photo. Leaving the entire border black would have been better.

Critique Club

Composition: The subject is very nice, but you took the photo from slightly off-centre. You probably should have taken it from head on, or way off-centre (making it look deliberate). The result is a slanted horizon line (especially obvious across the bottom) - which a lot of people vote harshly. Other than that, the framing is very good and well balanced and the piece of blue sky adds nicely to the subject.

Technical Quality: The exposure is great - the sky looks wonderful. The sharpening is spot on - not over sharp, nor soft. Focus is crisp. As mentioned though - the horizon is crooked which has cost you dearly.

Meeting Challenge: There's plenty of obvious symmetry in this photo, so no problems with meeting the challenge.

Creativity: I like the building and the small spots of yellow really got me thinking. Did you saturate the image to achieve this, or is that the natural colour balance of the building? (No problem - just curious)

Border / Title: No border - none required. The title is pretty good, but I didn't understand the "Marching" part - perhaps because of my nationality.

Overall: It's a very good image minus the crookedness aspect. You could even try a rotate in an image editing program - although it won't quite fix it. Well done though.
