I like the colors of this but the focus needs to be a lot sharper.

Too close and very fuzzy.

Looks like you added a filter effect to this? If not, I'm not sure why it looks like this. Maybe you had to crop it too much? In addition it is tilted a LOT to the left.

B is for blurry, that's good enough for me. I like the subject, don't like the grain or the focus.

Something like this actually has potential, lots of strong colours and action and hotspots. IUnfortunatly it needs lots of control (See //www.artofeurope.com/brueghel/bru11.htm and JS Lowry for what I mean) to make it work.

Comment by wetland:
Too much light and too out of focus.

You could almost convince me that this is a watercolor painting, instead of a photograph. It definitely catches a sense of speed, but I'm not sure the fuzzy nature of it works to its advantage - it looks as if, taken with a bit more care and presented at a higher resolution, it might have looked like a crisp moment-in-time that could have been quite riveting.

lacks focus -is this a close up cropped from an original?
also would suggest seeing if your editing program allows you to straighten the photos before you enter them.
