Running for Life

Great A+ sky. Did you set this shot up? It looks like the runner just started from a crouch. It celebrates life, but does not seem general enough. I only know about 3 people who run like this regularly.

Cool pic, but not what life's all about. I used to drink a lot of Dew in the 60's. They were in bottles then, and a dime each.

Beautiful subject. I feel softer more even lighting would make photos of her even more so. Lot of reflections in this pic.

Baby Face- A New World To Discover

Is this Rudolph warming up? I know it can't be fixed for this contest rules, but my eyes dive right on the highlights on the nose. Bummer, but otherwise an exceptional photo of a beautiful creature. I will not drop the scoring for the highlights as it was not something you could control to get the pic. B&W is right for this too good choice.

Good photo, but doesn't encompass enough of life. I like the light and shadow.

Life Is Best Shared

A little overexposed, but it smooths out the skin that way. A good moment captured. B&W works for this too. The title completes the concept and theme. Almost made 9 for me, so 8.75=9.

I know what this is, but most people wouldn't have a clue without the title.

Good colors. The same pic with a real sky in the back would be a stronger statement, but harder to make the subject look as good.
