Hi Amy,
Greetings from the Critique Club:
Just to start out...I really like your photo. I liked it during voting and, of course, I still like it now. In my opinion, you have taken what would be a simple monorail snapshot and turned it into photographic art. What makes the picture is the reflection of the setting sun and horizon in the front car. The colors are beautiful.
If I remember correctly, the monorails at DisneyWorld move quickly, so I'm impressed that you were able to freeze it and get it in such nice focus. Just the front nose is a tad blurry, so I can tell that it was a moving monorail.
The angle of your shot is pleasing to the eye. I disagree with one comment that suggested you crop out part of the left side. That is the best part of it where the colors are rich. It also shows the track in front of the train and allows it somewhere to go. Your border is simple black and not overdone. Frames your picture nicely.
My only complaint is that it is a little overexposed on the right side. Actually, I think you could crop off a little more of the back of the train (perhaps the last two sections) and not lose the effectivness of the shot. In fact, the closer crop would make the front car more dramatic. I think it will also take out some of the negative space of the blaa sky and fill your picture in better. Just a thought.
Overall, it is a very nice photo and meets the challenge head on.
Good luck

Aside from a slight yellow cast, this is excellent. Could maybe use a little crop top and left. |
