Extreme Desperation: The Last Line of Defence

Nice fun cluster there, but for those of us whom don't watch this sport, won't understand any of whats going on, or why this would be an extreme emotion, rather than a bunch of guys jumping. The black and white is nice, I think maybe more motion blur or less but a difficult capture all the same.

Fingers are too smooth it seems, as well as the item in the hand being hidden. I think whatever was in the hand, was going to be the item that made the image. But not being able to see it, ruins the image.

This image may only be emotional to a few, and only extreme emotion to a smaller number. For me, it doesn't hold much anything, The lighting and colours are nice, however I think a more shallow dof would have helped, keep the hands the focal point, and not so much on the photographs.

I really enjoy your location, I love the feel of it. The light on the floor, for me is a distraction, you see that bright spot on the kickboard on the bottom of the wall, I think if the light on the floor and kickboard wasn't so overblown it would have scored much higher. There is also a bit on the top right corner that is a distraction.

Your title says one thing, but the kayaker says another. For me, I have seen many a rider roll in the water, even in water a bit ruff as this. For me there isn't that emotion of panic, I guess for those not used to it there may be. I don't care for the near center placement and would have liked more of the river to see how dangerous it really was.

I see faces, and it appears more of a candid shot, but not very extreme or even moderate in emotion for me. Just two people holding hands, no big.

Nice image, no real emotional value for me. I am wondering what this would have been like with a bit of a different angle. or maybe even the whole tree, or moving it over to the left more... hmm

Need more junk outside, and instead of seeing the person in the window I think it would have been much more dramatic to just see stuff flying out the window. That way you don't even see the face of her. Fun idea though. Wondering if maybe having your flash more of an angle to get rid of a couple of those extra shadows?

parrots have faces, and for a faceless challenge there are three of them. As is well, I do not gather strong emotion either. For me, they are just a couple of birds bein birds.

Nice idea, but If you had flames in the background, even if just a bit, maybe burn down a toothpick cabin it would have really added to this and pushed the score higher.
