 Big crop, routine levels, contrast, usm. tiny clone of machinery under one pylon.

One of the roller coasters at the Santa Cruz (california) Boardwalk on a perfect day in June. A little wind would have been nice to show the flags. Can't have it all.

I love roller coasters. Nice catch and I love the negative space.

you have leading lines of the tracks and they lead me to the coaster full of people but the suppost lines also lead me to empty sky. neither the blank sky nor the tiny coaster are strong enough to hold my attention for long. why did you decide to place the people so far off to the left? with the speed voters, one you have drawn his eye out of the frame hi brain says "done, next photo please" a leading lines should make you linger on the image to see what more it has to offer.

A nice idea, but it seems unbalanced with so much blue skies.

I like the idea but feel that the lines of the roller coaster tracks are not leading me to the subjects. I'm not sure how you could have shot it not knowing the park or the set up of the ride but I think, at least, a more severe angle down or up might have been better. I do like the negagtive space and the fine colors.

Has the lines but they do not lead me very well - sorry

cool shot, but a lot of empty space in the frame.

good idea, but your composition has my eyes wanting to wander down the track away from the coaster itself. perhaps there was a view behind the coaster a bit as it headed down the next drop, that would allow me to better focus on your subject.
