Congratulations on your new camera kiddo. The two of you will be fast friends and have a long and wonderful relationship together. That's what me thinks :) Your

going to have quite a career in sports photography, if you so choose. You already have the right touch for photographing the right moment at the right time and that

takes a certain kind of person for that skill. Keep up the great work and make sure you don't forget us little people as you climb you way to the top :)

Katherine, you've come a long way already in your 57 challenges and I suspect we will see great and wonderful things from you as you get better every time you pick

up your camera. I have to say that's it's been fun to see the world in pictures through your eyes. It's always a pleasure to look through your portfolio.

All the best to you and yours.

Remember there is no end to your talent, only the restrictions that you put on yourself.

So live restriction free :)

Holy crap would you LOOK at the LIGHTING, it's fantastic. How did you do it? The photo is awesome but I said it before and I'll say it again, the LIGHTING WOW!!!!! OH and the title.... how do you do it, how do you do it??

No vote from me my friend but if I had the chance it would score an 11 just for the LIGHTING :)

All the best to you and yours.

Jamie, wonderful bokeh in this shot. Krissy looks welcoming and relaxed. I would consider this type of shoot either later in the day or early in the morning to avoid the somewhat harsh overtones or bring along a reflector to use for fill light.

Keep up the good work.

Wild Lilia

Jamie, this just isn't fair to the rest of the entries. She is a talented model and you are a talented photographer. You bring out the best in each other. Another GREAT shot of Lilia and I trust not your last. I love the lighting and the intense focus in her eyes. The smooth lines of her hair frame her face beautifully. You can't just pass by this shot without being captivated by her.

Well done and I love it in B&W, great choice.

All the best to you and yours

Roz or Gregory, either way it's a brilliant shot of Katee and I think a shoe in for a ribbon. I love the lighting and the feel of the shot. She is so well behaved. She needs a treat. Give her one for me too would you? The more I look at this I think Roz though. Oh well I'll see when things finish :)

Nuns on Ice

So Cole, is this the same bench you got you lovely wife to help you lug all the way out to your tree in your Grief shot? If so, don't you think it's time to get one that's a little lighter?

I always thought this was a fantastic image and it's nice to see that you entered it into this challenge, I'm sure it will do well.

You must have a popular guy that day, it looks mighty cold on that bench.

All the best to you and yours.

Nice and crisp shot on the main area of the bird. It's nice to see that you didn't get carried away with the processing, you could have very easily lost yourself with the contrast and colour shifting towards the dominate colours but I think you did just enough. Photographing birds is hard at times and you did a great job catching the playful nature of this bird.

All the best to you and yours.

If I had to guess I would throw out the name Roz and I would feel confident that I would be right. There are few on this site that can match you in insect photography but that being said I doubt that they could capture the soul the way you do. Some people are unparalleled in landscape, others people, but you have mastered the hardest of them all, the insect.

You truly inspire me Roz and you always have.

You ROCK

All the best to you and yours.

Stunning and one of the best shots in this challenge. Everything about this shot is spot on, the lighting, composition, DoF, your choice of model, everything.

I truly hope you have this hanging on your wall, it would be a delight to see this everyday.

Simply Beautiful.

I hope to see this in the top 3

All the best to you and yours.
