Greetings from the Critique Club!]
I like your choice of colours and your basic composition is good. The curve of the parasail (sorry if I get the lingo wrong) leads the eye up into the clouds and the rest of the sail guides the eye down to the person in the black sleeping bag :-) They look very comfy!
I feel though that the shot didn't do better, partly to the softness (which may be heat haze) and the lack of dynamism, a sense of action and possible danger - after all it's a bloke or blokette in the sky in a sleeping bag at the mercy of the wind!! Waiting for the actual landing segment may be more worth it. Play around with shooting from different angles. Also, I do agree with Armando that you may want to watch the pp. I see banding in the clouds which may be partly due to the lens but could also be caused by using the sliders a little too much in the pp program you are using. Of course you want the colours to pop, but you also want to ensure you don't get unwanted artifacts either.
All in all, not a bad shot by any means. But do go out there and shoot, a lot, as that's by far the best way to learn.
Hope this critique has been useful. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

I like the haziness of it as it almost makes it look like a dream. It would've been nice for it to be a bit sharper though.
However you do have a nice composition which is a good start. |

| I enjoyed your image. At first I wanted the guy to be in sharper focus, but it kind of works as it is (a bit soft?) too. I love the kite! Not quite enough of the secondary colors for this to be one of my top choices for the challenge, but a nice and interesting shot. |

I like your image!
Complementary colors in an action shot, doesn't get much better than that !
About improvements:
Image looks with little contrast a bit underexposed
Also there is a blue haze around the person, did you edit the sky to make it more blue ?
what software are you using for editing ? if you use Lightroom using automask helps prevent the edits to spill where you do not need it |
