Exceptionally good roller coaster shot. A lot harder than it looks to get a shot like this.

Nice capture of this fast moving coaster and the people's expressions! Good composition as well.

Nice, sharp photo and the cloudy, colorless background makes it even more dramatic. Great job.

Great sense of motion, brilliant colors and enough sharpness to capture some great expressions. But this day is more than cloudy - it looks like the background was isolated and replaced with plain white.

Wow! Amazing how clear this is. I like the white/cloudy background for this, I think it adds to the drama of the shot.

This is a very fun, colorful shot. It appears a bit pasted in to me, giving it a slight detached look for my taste.

Lighting, color, contrast and content are exceptional. The solid white background works especailly well for this image. Should be in the hunt for a ribbon.

Composition is great. Nice and sharp. All that bright sky is a bit much - I'd be tempted to select the sky and darken it.

Great picture - 8

The composition is enhanced by the angle of the capture. Very dynamic and gives the sense of motion. The subjects are more enhanced by the white background. almost like an abstract because of the beautiful curve in the coaster.

This is how the photos you can purchase after riding should look. Then maybe more people would buy. "10"

Something about the extreme sharpness of those edges speaks of an edited high-key exclusion of background, rather than a simple effect of exposure - and gives it an edited unreality that runs against the suggestion of spontaneity in the image itself. I don't like that effect, personally, though its very competently executed.

I think if the image gave a sense of speed it would rate higher. Next time, try panning the cars and then snap the photo. The background wouldn't matter since it's all gray anyway but the tracks would be blurred giving the impression of speed.

Well captured and fantastic composition. I like the white background though it's a bit obvious on looking for any length of time that this has been done in PS (look at heads of leading passengers). Neverthelss a striking image. Well done.

What a great picture. The white background really adds to it. The focus and color are just right.

what a great shot-you can really see the expressions on each face, colors are nicely saturated too.

Nice action shot. Love the curve of the coaster.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Really, really cool shot. However, it's distracting with teh all-white background. Maybe if you left the regular background in and used a layer to blur it, it may have worked a bit better or got you a ribbon. However, it still may get a ribbon. It's definitely eye-caching and obviously took a lot of work. GOod luck!
