This is a great image. Your subject is very interesting though might not have been what people had in mind for a landscape challenge. I think you did a very good job capturing the action, and because of that my eyes keep going to the right considering the left empty space not necessary. I would also like to see more vibrant colors and more contrast, as we are used to in your work.
Interesting landscape. As an image, this evokes feelings of interest, but the colors seem really muted and I did not feel a sense of drama or awe like I tend to enjoy in landscape. The image also seemed a bit off balance with such a heavy emphasis of the eye to the right of center.
It's interesting and dynamic. The verticals all work very nicely and the rocket is positioned plumb in Position A (excellent timing by you). All in all a splendid orchestration of static versus action, and thus way more interesting than the average 'launch' shot. 7.
