Critique Club Critique
(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) - In my opinion, too dominated by the table, since I think you wanted the blue sky here. On the other hand, the wires, poles, and buildings on the far right detract. It would have been interesting if you had rotated to the right more, trying slightly different alignments. Having her off center slightly would probably help.
(2) BACKGROUND – See above. The right hand area should be cropped out.
(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL – Good focus & DOF
(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL – I think a crop along the nearer tree on the right, and above the shadow on the table would make a great difference to this. Try a more portrait look.
(5) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO – I think I get the feeling you were after here – but a different cropping might have helped immensely, turning something above a snapshot into more of a photograph.

This could well have been an amazing shot, but it's just too bright in terms of the background. (It detracts from the glow of the sparks if you know what I mean.)

What does she drive. I love motorcycle riding. The greatest feeling of free next to horse backing riding. Beautiful shot. Beautiful composition, but I would have cropped of some of the table. You have depth in the rest of the photo so it doesn't add that much. You could have gotten more of the beauty of the surroundings and been closer to her. Still real good shot. PTL 8

I like this shot, but in my opinion the balance is a bit off. I would have prefered it if there had been either more sky or more table, it feels divided in half.
