Greetings from the Critique Club!

Lovely idea, and very good subject choice for this challenge, but there are a few areas you need to work on. You did an excellent job of avoiding glare, which is always very tough when shooting such a reflective surface; nor do I see you in the reflection either. Very good! :-)

Now, what you need to work on...I know this is a challenge where you are meant to crop tightly but even so I wish the top of the B and that wingtip were in the shot. As noted, the focus seems to be more on the front part of the base on which the B rests as opposed to the B itself, and it's meant to be the star of the shot. The reflections of the flying B are fantastic btw! Finally the tilted horizon is one of those things that voters either love or hate, along with things like vignettes and heavy use of HDR. FWIW most voters seem to like their horizons level, so keep that in mind.

Hope this helps

Susan

Good thinking for this challenge. But it looks the the focus is on the circle instead of the main part of the decoration.
