Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

Kids go wild opening presents. And adults get swept up in the excitement. We, too, want to feel their energy. The whole scene was lights, colors, and energy. I tried to capture that mood and this seemed to come closest to it.

Specific Feedback

The composition is purposely unstructured in order to show how the event was. That was my thinking. What do you think?

Igor, it looks like you all had a fun time. Thanks for sharing the scene here. Happy New Year too… :star_struck:

Interesting composition, Igor. The effect of the lights streaking at a slant helps add energy to the image. I also like what appears to be a bit of motion blur. I do wish the young lady in from was evincing a bit more excitement, but it’s a candid shot so you get what you get.

Great capture of fun and excitement!! The gifts look airborne!

Why didn’t I think to capture our 9-year-old granddaughter at work? She has excellent form ripping off the wrapping and throwing it behind her head in one great sweep.
