The use of text here clearly enhances, rather than detracts from this shot. The border does well to stay out of the way of a clear, bright and superb shot. Excellent work. I wouldn't change anything - 10.

In the Blink of an Eye

Hi Steve!

Composition
I understand your theme well. But what happened in the blink? If we saw more - something more - like an egg dropping from shoulder height to her waist or something - as she blinked. Like "as she's blinking, it's falling." (or some other such nonsense) The crop is very tight.

Color
The colors look just a hair washed out - maybe a bit more brightness and contrast would take that white film look off. I like the colors you do have.

Focus
Looks a bit soft and dreamy. You didn't write what your intent was, so I'll just say it looks soft - if that's what you were going for, congrats. :)

Subject matter
As I said above - I wish there was something to show the timeline of a blink... the eye is good and "blink of an eye" is a great storyline for a triptych!

Overall
I like this shot - I think it has great potential!

Happy shooting and good luck!

The specific character means "city."

What if he picked the one next to it, that means "wood" or "tree."

They are Chinese characters.

I gave this shot a 6 originally. I think it looks like you fired a flash to capture the action. I like the action but dislike the color effects of the flash. I like the idea - the execution is something you know now you can work on. Maybe seeking out shot like this a few hours before sunset would give you the right amount of natural light to not fire the flash.

Hi BamBam!!!

Composition
Excellent use of the rule of thirds here. I love the 'emerging' from the water you have going on.

Color
Good colors - hard to get a 'true water blue' in a pool type area. I like the darker colors here. The contrast is nice between the animal and the pool.

Lighting
This shot seems a bit bright - what if you took brightness down a little bit? Or ... something to make the blacks blacker and keep the whites white?

Subject matter
I love this shot for fauna! S/he's so cute! Absolutely meets the challenge.

Overall
Great job. I don't think the score reflects the thought in this shot - and how cute it is!
Happy shooting!
