Comments and criticisms, please. Also, should I clone out the tree in the background and/or the speaker on the right?

Thanks.

I think cloning those things out doesn't really affect the photo? Great colors..

I don't think the speaker or the tree really effect the shot in this case. That said what I think would have made this a better shot is simply shooting it at night while it was all lit up. Ya got some nice motion there on the ride itself but to me shots of amusement park rides just always look so much more impressive shot at night...at least in my opinion.

It does look like a cool ride though!

Peace,
Jim

How about just recropping to remove what you don't like. Frankly, you are showing too much in my humble opinion.

You're right about the cropping. I was stuck on the 13 x 9 format but there really is no other reason. I'll chop it down.

Thanks for the comments.

Show me a picture that has "soul", then tell me what that means.
