Fresno Fireworks - Airline Endangerment
by Zeus

Comment:
From the title, I presume the dark tubular diagonal with red spots is an airliner during a long exposure. Wish the fireworks part could be more graphic.

Love how the churning slush in the lower right came out.

Spot on for the challenge, high key without glare fits perfectly, tilt of the mother's head combined with the curve of the breast gives a peaceful circular rhythm to the image that leads echos the draping and causes the eye to investigate the entire image repeatedly. Should score high.

When Snowballs Attack

Comment:
Exuberance well-captured. Nice job with exposure in a setting with a challenging dynamic range. Cropping to remove the rear end of the person bending over would help, but leave the leg and arm with gloved hand of the other person so as not to eliminate the element of context. Seven.

Comment:
The repeating circular patterns and mysterious central substance make a great combination. I'm hoping you'll provide details. From a compositional standpoint, the background of multicolor straight lines takes my eye repeatedly away from the subject and out of the picture - a dark solid background might have avoided that pitfall.

Gentle and delicate, with masterful use of depth of field. One of the best images of acquatic beauty I've seen in a very long time.

Very beutiful. The repeating pattern fading from front to back might be improved by cropping away the dark area in the top 2 mm or so of the upper left. 8 nevertheless.
