Yes, he definitely seems like a free spirit. :-) The color and clarity in this shot are really nice. I'd be tempted to crop in a bit tighter on him to give more focus to your main subject. Also, a lower angle might show more light on his face. Still, a good, fun shot.

Fun shot with great action and expressions. It seems like the photo is a bit undersaturated, so you might want to boost that a little. Still, nice photo of an excellent subject.

Laurie - I thought that looked like you! This shot came out really nice. I like the soft lighting and focus. I think the only thing that I found distracting (certainly not the choice of model!) was the sharp edges around your mouth and hand. Propably a side-effect of NeatImage. But overall this photo came out great - nice job.

I was wondering which one of you took this shot of Grace. It came out great! Please tell her that Mr. Pepsi says hello. :-)

Really beautiful, creative shot for this challenge. It seems like the subject might be better served with brighter lighting instead of the kind of flat light that you used, but it still looks great. Excellent shot!

It was absolutely brilliant of you to MAKE a purple photograph instead of trying to TAKE one. This is a beautiful shot and it looks great in purple duotone. Really nice job.

Wow - a lot of people have done water droplet shots, but this one is truly exceptional. Beautiful choice of colors and great lighting. Just a tiny bit of noise and a few specks here and there, but altogether an amazing photo.

This is a really nice shot. I had it pegged to do better than this.

My camera is really bad with CA where light colors are bumped against dark ones, such as those blue lines under his arms. What I do is select some of the discolored band, then click "Select Similar" a couple of times until all of the color I want to change is selected. Make sure no other parts of the photo are selected. Then copy and paste the selection into a new layer and add a hue adjustment layer that is grouped to it. Change the hue until it's in the same color band as his arms, then desaturate until the color almost blends in, then slide the light/dark bar left (dark) until the color blends in perfectly. PM me if you want more help. :-)

Your pictures just get better and better. I'm going to put you in my favorites list now and avoid the rush that will ensue when you win your first ribbon.

My mistake - you were already in there! :-)
