Your subject (the yellow color that draws the eye) is not centered. The log is NOT the subject. I like the shot though.

I voted low for this because the subject (as depicted clearly by the selective saturation) is very much not centered. I would have voted higher if the pole was made the subject.

8 I just donĀ“t understand why did you have to have that guy in color?

Great capture. I think (not sure) that in advanced editing you could bring down the brightness of the tent - it's a little distracting.

This is cool. I like how you used the yellow to emphasize that the object has just left the person. I can see how everything would have been just blended together without that yellow.

Great capture - 8 - love the toss of the kilt and the yellow shirt. Too bad you couldn't get the Caber a little more centered! ;-)

Centered Challenge but the subject on the left is saturated. Otherwise very interesting. A tad grainy and the horizon is slightly tilted. 7.

Wow, I love it. I like how you left the color in the man, like showing his energy almost. Good idea. Nice perspective.

the selective desat is drawing my attention from the 'centered compositon' ...

Nice shot. The ground isn't quite straight! I feel the caber could have been left with some colour in it too?

enjoy this.... thumbnail looked interesting, and am not disappointed. Colour may not be necessary for me, detracts somewhat from the centered hovering caber, however it does emphasize the contestant.
