Oh No, Not Boardwalk

Comment:
I think the title kind of ruined the image in this case. By calling out Boardwalk, I would then expect to see the token on that square and the square in the focal plane. (Oops, looking back I noticed that you rolled a two, hence then focus on the dice and the title).

Big Boys Kite

Comment:
I am a bit thrown off by the rotation of this image. I would expect the line of kites to go from the bottom up as opposed to top done. I am still debating as to whether it is simply disorienting or an interesting perspective that I have yet to open my mind to. I will pass on voting and come back to it later with a fresh mind.

Strong vibrant colors, nice use of depth of field to emphasize the pitcher, crisp clean focus, excellent composition, and a great expression on his face. A very well done image.

The Sprint To First

Comment:
The subject is de-emphasized by being placed against the teammates in the background. I would prefer to see her against a uniform background such as the field so that there is a clear definition of the subject. Alternatively, reducing the depth of field so that the dugout is heavily out of focus would also work nicely.

I could definitely see this image being used in a magazine or newspaper article about steroids in the MLB.

Leaving the torso and legs of one of the players takes a lot away from the composition. I think the image would be better with a top down view showing only hands, string, and ground.

Holy cow, they're not playing with toys there. Nice capture of the moment of impact. The splinters flying through the air really help make the photo.

The Road to the Olympic Games

The lighting is a bit harsh and the background is cluttered, taking away contrast from the subjects. Perhaps by taking the photograph while the were passing through the shade of a trees or a bridge could have improved the lighting. As far as the clutter, narrowing the field to just one or two lone runners would make it easier to ensure a clear definition between the subjects and the background.

I have nothing negative to say about the photograph itself as far as technical merit. It is all very well done, lit, and composed. Subject wise, however, I would have gone with a straight flush instead of four aces. Basically, the king, although needed to complete the hand, doesn't play any role. With the straight flush, all the cards would have had a meaning.
