On of my favs just for the simplicity of it. Just the right amount of negative space. Way to jump outside the box...great job...I like it.

Shot well taken. Crisp and Colorful. Nice dof forces us to focus on skater. I am not a fan of square crops but it works ok here. High marks for a job well done.

Contrast could be boosted a bit to enhance the horizon but I still gave this high marks. Good composition, good subject matter. Personally I would like the see the worker more in the right third than the center but that is just my taste.

I've seen the guys do this a few times on the Star of India. The colors and silhouette make this shot a great shot... Technically sound composition, great job.

First glance I thought they were barbie dolls.

Second thought Grounded for not having the girls in focus.

Seriously, there is a conflict going on visually between the fence and the girls. The fence being tack sharp is winning the battle and the shot not getting the message across (not holding my attention very long). Perhaps if the girls were closer to the fence and less oof it would balance it out.

Please prepare for landing...

I took the liberty to work up your shot a bit to illustrate that it is a great shot that just needed some TLC in the digial darkroom. Hope you don't mind.



I may have over sharpened it a bit, but I felt it was a little soft as it stood. Always remember to check your sharpness after a resize because you will lose some detail.

Under basic rules, I worked the dark end of the curve to bring up the shadows and mids which also brightened the overall shot. Once I worked the curve, I added a little contrast to give it a little pop. I added a couple of clicks of saturation and then boosted the greens just a little more.

Again this is a great composition and playing with curves possibly would have brought your score up a whole point or more.

Great shot, lovely smile. Don't be afraid to go even tighter with the crop. I might crop the entire (model's) left hand/arm. Get in close and let that radiant smile shine.

What big eyes you have... kewl looking cat. I bet he/she is more gentle than it looks.

This is a tough shoot, as hard a shooting an all white cat.

You know what you be really fun is to shot this cat in a darker environment and from a lower angle to where we could just make out a silohette and those big eyes jumping out at us...
