Flight

the very slight blur on the wings does not take away from the image and from the stopped action of flight and from the wonderful shot overall. love the background too!

i really like this photograph. very atmospheric, stopped action indeed. also, i think it communicates the emotion of the girl and you can almost hear the boy laughing. well done!

nice photograph. the cup itself seems to be a bit off balance but the water and the water drop in the cup are well captured. nice stopped motion.

Can You Feel It?

Comment:
this picture has a very nice atmopheric feel to it. i like it very much. i can certainly feel the tranquility and the aura of the place. my only concern is with the "touch" aspect of the challenge. i can not see an obvious "touch" angle in this photograph.

The Touch of a Master

one of the best ones in this challenge. beatiful composition and hands on the instrument. the sepia tone also work here very well. the only possible suggestion i can think of would be to place the objects slightly off center, not right in the middle of the picture. i think it would invoke a better emotion. (let me know what you think if you try it).

very nice image. however, it appears to be resized to a very small frame, which unfortunately does not allow full appreciation of the composition, the colours, and the "touch" aspect of the challenge.

Ivory Touch

i like this shot, but i find the asymmetry and transparency of hands takes away from the image.
