Spun Out

Interesting shot. Like the blue background: it sets off the steel of the gyroscope nicely. String tip near the gyroscope edge seems to be out of focus and I can't quite figure out why. Nice framing too

This is a good crisp and clean shot. I really appreciate the feeling of proximity to the subject. The reflection is very nice as well.

Nice and crips but over exposed.

Beautiful candid shot. I would never have the courage to take something like this for fear of offending onlookers. I commend you for this. The B&W treatment really adds to this shot. One of the best of the series. Nice work. Some may say that its tto dark but I find that this brings character to the image.

Took me a while to notice the face. It's too bad, but you're probably going to get some low scores because people will vote before taking time to notice the face. I only got it because I read the title before looking at the image. Good work and very interesting. A shot angle away from perpendicular might have made this a bit more visually appealing.

I'm not sure, but this looks a tad oversharpened. Great scene and beautiful colour. I would have liked to see more sky (it lokks AWESOME) and maybe even a bit more lake. Nice job!

Nice kitty. Looks almost like my own. Nice shot. I do find that the white background is way blown out and that it's "bleeding" into the brown felt material.

Interesting shot. You may want to use a tripod for this kind of stuff in the future. With tripod you could have used greater depth of field (right hand of subject slightly out of focus) and would not have required a flash.

Nice idea. I would have shot this against a black background (darker tones would have conveyed more emotion, IMO) and would have shot this at a less steep angle. I encourage you to play with this subject if you still have that beautiful little snake. I LOVE those guys. The date in the lower right corner is very distracting. If you can't remove it through camera programming, try cropping the image to leave it out. Keep up the good work.

very nice shot. love the water drops. Would probably have scored a bit higher if focus had been crisper. Good work, though.
