I've never seen flat-track roller derby before -- is that a new trend?

If that wisp of hair running past the corner of her mouth were moved over (or removed) you'd have an even nicer yin/yang effect.

The gritty/grainy feel works really well here.

Sometimes if I want to accentuate the grain/noise and I'm planning to end up with a B&W, I'll just copy the Blue Channel to a new Grayscale image.

Reminiscent of the scene near the end of Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey ... very nice effect.

SD4: Exit Stage Left!!

Whenever I try motion-panning on animals, I find I'm zoomed-in too far and can't get them in the frame with any reliability. With more MP available to you, I suggest pulling back to a little more wide-angle setting and cropping in later -- that's certainly what I'm planning next time I'm trying it.

From the pattern, it looks like the center of a composite flower.

Warm colors and bold "strokes" give it quite a painterly look to me -- maybe a take on "Sunflowers"?

I like the strong diagonals in the composition. I'd like to compare with a version where the eyes are not quite so super-sharp -- it makes it look a bit artificial when it's really a completely natural capture.

PS: The eyes look good in the thumbnail -- I think I was a little surprised at the difference between the small and large versions.

As mentioned, a great Hallowe'en shot, though I'd probably shift the color of the eyes to a more pronounced orangy-red (though it should be noted that those are colors I don't see well!).

I'd like to see it with the green background darkened up considerable, letting the ladies in the center "glow" and be the focus of attention -- right now the brightness of the background tends to draw my eye away from them.
