I'm kind of new here, but I thought I'd share one of the shots that I took today. I used this for my personal 366 project. I would love to hear some feedback so that I can grow and improve both my composition and PP.

Come on in and get your feet wet BK! Oh, I see that you have - :)
Lovely shot and great timing on your part.
Everything looks pretty good to me composition-wise. I would ask what time of day the capture was taken? And I hope the answer is either early morning or late afternoon.

Thanks all!

I took this shot yesterday afternoon about 3:30 or so. I am on call this week so my shooting window is very limited. Namely between noon and 4 PM. Other wise I'm shooting in the dark on both ends.

I think the warm light comes from both the area that I was shooting combined with the smog around Atlanta, and the fact that I changed the white balance in post to be cloudy and then bumped the warmth up a bit. It's strange the reactions that I'm getting on this shot. Some people would rather see everything be crisp, while others like the motion. I personally like the motion in the wings just a tad.

Here is another from that same time period of that same guy.
