I'm glad to see you came back! The first photo was wonderful! This one is set up very, very well. Technically you've done everything almost perfectly. My own criticism is the composition. I am a stickler for the "Rule-of-Thirds." I may be too stuck on it. But in this case I really think your subject is too centered. My eye goes right to the hot spot in the middle and gets stuck. I don't get to look around at all. And the combination of the cnetered subject and centered sun exacerbate the compositional problem. I think you can improve it by cropping so that the subject isn't so centered. You've got plenty of room fro cropping. You won't be able to do anything about the sun, though. Try cropping from the left and the top and see if you don't think it makes for a more dynamic and digestable image.
One of the guidelines for this forum is that you give as much as you receive. Please take a look at some of the other photos posted here and offer your own critiques. Photographers benefit from both ends of the critique relationship. We learn from other people offering us feedback. And we also learn from articulating what we like and don't like about other people's photos.
Glad to have you here. Your photos are great and we always welcome more enthusiastic photographers![]()
