This looks oddly familiar. A razor perhaps?

Hello from the critique club...

Interesting concept. There are nice leading lines that draw the eye through the shot. However, there are some issues that pop out at me. The lighting is a bit harsh for me. I am talking about the two lines of light in the foreground. I think that is a bit distracting. Lighting can be a very tricky thing to control. Happy shooting

Hi Gaylord,

This comment is part of my participation in the Critique Club. There's a big backlog on requests, sorry for the delay. So...

The drama in this scene is clear. The figure/ground of the two diagonal parts of the photo are well seen and composed. But.. the overall effect is damaged by the excessive saturation and the color noise within the blues and yellows. I'm also wondering who tightly cropped this is - I suspect from the lack of detail that it's a pretty small portion of the overall image. I'll finish by restating that the lines and composition are great. The colors are complementary and would work well together. If this were sharper, desaturated a bunch and lacked the color artifacts (particularly in the blues) it would be a much stronger image. You really don't need the exaggerated colors to create a dramatic image.

A nice sunset - I do like the wee bit of flare near the sun - things always go better with a little lens flare.

Beautiful tones in the sunset, I would like to see more light within the foreground though.

1st of all I want to say I love the sky.... The main thing that really catches my eye in a negative way is the motion blur. On his wing I can see blur. I think this hurt you in the long run. Unfortunately on this one I do agree with the score. Happy shooting
