Greetings from the Critique Club };-)
Initial thoughts
Very colorful, meets the challenge, burnout hurts it, should have scored better.
Composition/ Content
You had a great idea here that seems was very hard to pull off. Most librarians don't like you hanging from ceilings and such so you do what you can. I assume that you were trying to cut out the background by overexposing it. It works on some level but becomes distracting on another. I love the symettry and color but that background really hurt this shot.
Technical
Focus seems a bit soft but I'm sure that was because of the difference in light and shadow you have here. The only thing I might have done was use a higher numbered (smaller)aperture and see what happened. This is a poster child for a bracketed shot as well. That would have smoothed some of your burnout and made a more appealing shot IMHO. I'm not sure if your camera has these capabilities.
My Opinion On The Photo
I originally scored this shot a six bordering on a seven. I think that it meets the challenge well but could have been improved a little to finish even higher than it did. I'm a little surprised it didn't finish a little higher. 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.

| I loved this one - gave an 8 - it should have placed much higher! |

| Great radial symmetry. Light is blasting out the edges and focus. Moving the aperture to smaller (larger number) may have helped. |

| I kinda like the high key background. I think it would work better if it were just whit with no lines, but the way you've done it you've minimized the lines and it really brings out the bright colors of the kite. Good job with that |

| Fits this challenge well but perhaps a better shot for the current challenge. |

| Focus is off and light is over exposed. Good colourful subject but perhaps a different angle would have helped with the light. 5 - floyd |

| Nice framing and composition. It meets the challenge well. Your image looks almost like a watercolor. |

| Lighting is problematic. Symmetrical, indeed. |

| Too bright in the background. I don't know what you could have done about it, though... |

| Nice idea; 6 lines of symmetry! I'm coming down hard on non-symmetric images in this week's competition - you've nothing to worry about here, in other words :) |
