To be honest, I am a little mixed about the photo. On the one hand, I like the 1800's jungle feel to the photo, reminiscent of old safaris. On the other hand, I like the original, and all the greenery in the photo. I guess its not a bad thing if I can find reason to like both :D

I like the photo, and the intensity in the athletes expression, but something in your description is very frustrating to me. You wrote "played in winter outside in skirts and t-shirts! ". Where I am right now (Canada), it is winter, and minus 15 Celcius, with about a foot of snow on the ground, and its going to snow most of the weekend and next week.

So... I am jealous :D

Hahah.. very nice candid shot of boys being boys. I can imagine that I would have responded the same way he did.

You have some very obvious talent in Photoshop. This is a very nice creation, and something I couldnt even come close to duplicating.

Ah... such alchemy, turning brass into silver :D

Nice edit. I prefer the monochrome to your original, and the contrast is excellent.

I think this is a big improvement on the original. I dont think there is too much contrast, and I really like how the lines draw you toward the centre.

Great photo. I really like the shallow DOF, and the water drops a refracting some interesting shapes as well. As with the other comments, the grain is the only drawback. Some noise ninja, or other noise reduction should fix that easily.

I agree with nshapiro. The cropped version is a huge improvement, but I dont like the border. You changed a busy shot into a nice simple shot with your crop.

Lovely shot... the sky is really cool, and the light coming from the clouds is really nice. I wouldnt necessarily crop any more ocean out... i kinda like the 50/50 composition here, but I would fix the tilt in the horizon. Nice photo.

I think this is a very nice scene, but it could be improved by a few edits. The colours seem a little flat, so I would add contrast. I think this would also be nice with the sky cropped out. Its blown out as it is. Have you considered a horizontal crop, keeping the far end of the roadway in the center?
