In Flight

Brilliant capture. Very difficult to get right but you have managed very well indeed to grab and portray the flight of the bird. (was it coming in to land, did you not get the splashdown?)

I really like this. The colour (or lack of) and the composition are great. Well done

Power Chord

I like the subject but it doesnt look like he's in the middle of a gig playing that chord for the fans...more like in the dining room. If this was onstage with stage lighting and some atmosphere it would have been stunning.

Interesting photo but I feel it needs a focal point so as not to look just like a blurry photo.

Lovely portrait, great lighting and composition. I love the motion captured here and it really adds to your photo. I imagine he's saying something to make the girl blush. Got me thinking, so, excellent work.

Interesting subject and good crop / framing. However on the whole this is a bit of a flat and lifeless photo for me, sorry.

Sorry Gordon for my confusing comment.

I thought the DOF of the flowers looked odd. Almost like extra flowers had been added to the foreground and blurred. The placing of the single red flower among the blue looked too good to be true too. I see now that with your super dooper camera, the perfect location and the patiece of a patient saint that this was a genuuine stunning photo. I wouldnt have changed my score either way since I voted on it's effectiveness as a magazine cover and not on my (false) perceptions of post shot editing. Well done again.

Hope that clears things up....and now onto motion blur

Nice idea. I dont really understand the movement though or the reason for it. I think there is an interesting story here but I need a little bit more information as a viewer.

Really nice. Odd crop though cutting off the lowest ball?
