Critique Club critique:

Composition/Content: The bright colors and shape against the black background give this photo "Wow". The center of focus appears to be in the center of the photo where the yellow lines have more contrast with their background. I woulk like to have seen the center of the wheel or the structure holding the wheel more in focus to give the eye an anchor to latch on to and wander from.
Background: The black background gives the bright colors great contrast.
Camera Work/Technical: Exposure is very good. Focus appears to be center weighted and might be better either towards the center of the wheel or widened.
Digital Processing: Color is balanced and nice and bright.
My Opinion: I usually don't like titles having to explain a photograph. I would like to have seen more of the structure or something in the picture that told me this was a ferris wheel. When I first looked at it, I thought it was a toy or a fan. Anyway, this is a great photo and a great idea.

Looks like a glowing wheel of cheese. It's tipped toward the right too much, it looks unnatural because of it. - Inspzil

This is decent. Believe it or not this is one of the ideas I had. Glad I did not do that.
Ok here we go.
1)Does the photo the theme? Yes (8)
2)Color. I think the color here is good for a night shot. I think the lack of color on
the wheel itself adds to your shot. The White, Red, and yellow play nicely. (6)
3)Compositon: This photo is not centered and that is a good thing. I would have
liked to see the Center of the wheel a little closer to one of the four sweet spots.
(6)
4)Focus: I am thinking you were holding the Camera in your hand. I would have
personally liked to see the Center of the wheel in focus, but if you were holding
Camera in your hand that is not going to happen. Would have needed a tripod
and youwould have had to set your timer. (4)
5)Background: I can not think of a better background the dark sky provides for
perfect contrast.(9)
6)Lighting: I think the lighting speaks for itself here. (7)

Overall Score is. 6.83 rounded to 7 :-) Good job.
