Hey Leroy ... me again :)
First Impression - the most important one:
I think this guy is pissed with you ... and you got away with it .... I think only cos he loves you.
Composition:
I think this is ok .. I like that your haven't got her right arm fully in the shot .. our minds can draw that in ... the crop seems a little tight on heis hat ... I am not sure how much more of a pic you had to work with. ...
Subject:
I have to agree with your other commentors .. he seems totally in his environment .... so is this a family thing ???? :)
Technical (Colour and light):
I stared for a while .. and he does seem to have a slight blue cast on his face ... I think this is purely from the reflection or (you know what I mean) off the truck ... I think the DOF isa great ... and I love how you have also captured in other elements of the track with the helmit which completes the image.
To grow its vote?:
maybe a differnt crop ... is your dad naturally pale or is the pic slightly washed out on his face .. I found with my nana shots I had to add alot of colour and ended up overdoing it (she is ntaully very brown) I am wondering if your dad is in a siminar boat as his arms seem slightly tan.
Summary:
Lovely shot ... .. its always cool to have something in the album that others the the family/whanau (in maori) don't have.
If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.
Cheers

| I gave out quite a few 7s in this competition, and this is one of them. 7s are for shots that perfectly capture someone in an environment, so that they seem like part of the environment. You did that here. The lighting screams "racetrack at night" and the light has the same quality on the man as it does on the car. |
