Thumb-up    from rgordley/Rich (6,983) This user is a Premium Member Send mail to this user on March 6, 2008 3:32:46 PM CST (3) Early critique

This is technically good - color, exposure, focus, DOF all working well. Compositionally though, the diagonal formed by the roof of the house on the right leads out of the picture as does pole resting on it. I think that had you shown all of this particular structure the image would be more effective. Pulling the POV back some would also provide a little more context for the ruined building.

Thanks Rich! Critiques such as yours really help with my composition. I shot hundreds of photos of the tornado destruction. I guess I cropped this one a bit too much.
