Nice centering. A bit out of focus and I'd like to see what your background is...

nice capture. not sure why the bottom seems cut out but i think that detracts a bit from the photo. i would have bumped up the saturation a bit to bring out the colors more too.

Kite Flying Weather

Comment by dsidwell:
Greetings from the Critique Club!

I concur with all of the compliments below!

In this photo, I see, pure and simple, a kite. It is held aloft by the wind, so there is no doubt, at least in my mind, that this image fits the challenge well. The kite is brightly colored, and has a long, ribbony tail, so I get a subtle feeling of celebration, as if the wind (and kite flying) were something to gently celebrate. I really love how the tail wouldn't fit into the frame, suggesting perhaps that this kite in all of its exhuberance is just too hard to capture in its entirety. Also, the composition and placement of the kite in the frame is excellent. it gives it an appearance of height without sacrificing its focus. Your use of negative space wonderfully sets the kite and its tail as something very important.

To improve this photo, I would simply push what you have already done well. Through looking at your other images on the site, it is obvsious that you have a great eye for showing simlicity and drama with the smallest details. So if the kite has bright colors now, can they be brighter? Can the sky be bluer? Perhaps a polarizing filter would help, or just a bit of post-shot processing with your software. The focus is off slightly, so it may be fun to explore your two options here: increase the motion blur to show that the kite is in motion or sharpen it up.

Anyway, a really great idea for this photo, and most of your elements work very well; it wouldn't take much to add just that little bit of drama to make it really communicate with us.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks,

David

Is it asleep? Nice pic, good shallow DOF and the crop is also top. I would have run an an auto levels or adjusted the saturation on it to bring out the colors more.

This would be an even better photo if the butterfly was actually alive. The lighting needs to be better as well.

This photo is pretty boring. There isn't anything that prodominantly shows weather.
