First outing with new camera. Blew out highlights to get him properly exposed. Thanks for looking. Comments welcome.....

Hello,

I see your photo post has had over 135 views and no one left any comments for you. ??

I like the photo.

One Simple Suggestion: Consider cropping to eliminate the tree on the left.

I hope these comments help you, and stimulate others to comment too.

I'm liking this one too. The tree and the guys below aren't part of what I like in the photo, however. Maybe try a crop to show only him - no ground below or tree.

Nice Michael. I like the guys and the rest of the park, but would crop/clone the tree on the left.

Epic. Clone out the tree. Blown highlights are no problem and I think actually add to the shot.

Great stuff

I like it, but I think you should crop it from just above the sign to just below the wheels, and go pano with it. Then maybe clone out that distracting blue streak on the right side.

cropping from just above the sign to just below the wheels? Not sure I follow that. You mean the distracting blue streak that is the sky?

Sorry - lame attempt at humor. Just playing around since you had so many other cropping suggestions.

OK I get jokes....thought you temporarily had gone bonkers. That is actually kind of funny.

The original version was troublesome for me. The blown sky was a major problem (I've had plenty of skies like that, too). But your edited version is a killer shot now. The sky is much, much better, and I like the removal of the other people. They didn't add anything to the composition.
