Greetings from the Critique Club };-)
Initial thoughts
Fun and happy composition, interesting take on the challenge, colors could be a bit brighter
Composition/ Content
Composition is very good, I think you put the Epcot Center right where it belonged. I think you placed the timer right where it needed to be as well. The confetti is fantastic. I like the way the road winds off into the distance.
Background
One of the things that might have been improved here is the brightness of the sky. The blue is really washed out.
Camera Work - Technical
Focus seems good for evidentally taking a rather quick hand-held shot. Seems as if the contrast could have been pressed just a little. The sign seems a bit washed out as well.
Digital Processing - Technical
I think the photo could have benefited from a little increased saturation. It would have given you sky more color and the confetti and bright signs as well. A dark border may have brought the colors out a little as well.
Fits The Challenge
Here's the rub...I'm sure some voters marked you down for this. I think it fits the challenge but I'm not sure just how well. I think most were focusing on road signs put up by a Dept of Transportation.
My Opinion On The Photo
I originally scored this shot a five and was very near a six. I think that it meets the challenge but was more focused on the marathon and less on the sign. I know I thought about this shot a lot before voting. Good job, and keep up the good work.
I would be happy to talk further about this shot if you would like to contact me.

| Some would criticize your picture because you are not really using a "road sign" but I like the action, colors and setup. I feel like the runner just getting to the finish line and being cheered by the crowd! |

| Great idea. The sky is washed out more than I like to see. Did you have a polarizer for this shot? Just curious - Inspzil |
