You've got a gorgeous mom, Kelly - would be great to see her pose for some of your jazzed up portraits! I think both of these shots of her are nice. Ah, but now I miss my own ma back there in the states. Cool to see a picture of Fetor in the background!

The Tao of Flight

Well now, Laurie, I have to apologize for my too hasty comment below. The forum thread about the results of this challenge brought me back for a second look. I apologize for my comment suggesting higher contrast when you actually intended for the contrast to be low.

Looking at the image a second time, it's easy for me to understand why you reduced the contrast. The low contrast contributes to the feeling of the bird being one with the water, and the water one with the bird. So I take back the contrast remark :-) Instead I suggest (and maybe just to protect my own dignity, heehee) that a black frame might have kept my eye in this subtle scene a bit longer, instead of just giving you a 5 and moving on. I stand by the positive parts of my comment below, though! Also, I really like the movement in the wing. Nice work and sorry for my looking too quickly during voting.

Cute title :-) Nice shot, too. I'm impressed that you managed to keep the motion blur away from the people inside the restaurant while getting it on the person walking.

Wow, wow, wow - what a capture! This looks very complicated to do. Hope you write about how you did it afterwards in the photog comment area. Even the title is perfect.

Good job with the straightforward composition and colors. I like both of those aspects. However, there is too much Neat Image for my taste and bird seems more out of focus than motion-blurred. The color of the water is very nice.

Lake Ride !

Great colors and feeling of speed, but for my taste, the image could stand to be cropped at the top to eliminate the distraction areas. This looks like a lot of fun.

I like the b&w (high key?) treatment a lot. The biker on the left distracts me a bit, especially since the one on the right is so perfect. Nice job overall!

This is very interesting and eye-catching. I love the copper swirl at the horizontal near the bottom. Awesome with the hand and ring in focus. What a great tune - I can just about hear the music! The top 1/4 doesn't do much for me, but those bottom 3/4 of the image gives you a top score from me.

I agree with Van --- look at that light!! What a great capture. This looks like someplace I better visit someday.
