Greetings from the critique club

Composition
You found a nice subject, something different. Makes we want to look closer to find out what it is. With this subject and background, following the 'rule of thirds' might have been better, instead of a centred composition.

Camera Work
I assume this was taken handheld? It appears a bit fuzzy. Opening the aperture down one step could have helped.

Processing
Some extra sharpening would have helped.

Looking at your other challenge entries, I can say you have a keen eye. Keep shooting, keep experimenting and enjoy your ride at dpchallenge!

Comment by dcflyer:
subject is nice and crisp but background seems to be in just enough focus to detract from foreground making it hard to see the details in the needles.

Exciting point of view with the needles splaying out across most of the photo. I like the colors too.

I don't like the placement. Colors are rich, though.

I like the picture; background is a little bit distracting
