100m dash

Interesting subject, but I think it is a bit of a stretch for a sports challenge. The composition is a bit too centered. The colors are nice, but it's almost as if the shutter speed was just a bit too slow, and the aperature too stopped down to really make the cheetahs pop from the background.

I love kid shots. This one is good, but not great. The composition is excellent. The expressions are priceless. The stopped action is perfect. The colors are a bit mute and the focus is really soft.

Excellent use of b/w on this shot. It really adds the focus on the players. Good use of limited DOF and great capture of the actions. That is what sports photography is all about!

Cliff Diving - No Turning Back

The setup and composition are great on this shot. The colors could use a bit more saturation. And, at the risk of have this comment shunned for a broad use of DNMC, I think the diver should be more in the diving position to really make this shot stand out.

What an awesome photograph of such an interesting place. The Joshua Tree shadow really makes this photo interesting. My favorite part though is the graduated dark sky. I love skies like that. I also like the sepia toning on this shot. The weak side? Probably the low contrast in the rocks. Try a separate curves adjustment layer or two with everything masked out except for the rocks to bring out the contrast and detail a little more perhaps.

What a nice candid capture. And great use of natural lighting too. Nice work on this one. I really like the catch light in her eyes. It's very interesting.

I really like the grain/noise in this photo also. The DOF is perfect.
