Just because you can selectively desaturate doesn't mean you always should. =] I think I would have liked this picture much better in "full color".

A shallower depth of field would have really helped isolate the players from the background. Other than that, nice action shot!

Congrats on the ribbon Terje! And also for the smiles as I read your comment on my entry... and then saw it change a few days later... and then change again... =]

Congrats on YABR! (= Yet Another Blue Ribbon; an acronym that was created specifically because of you Gary!) Great shot; the glowing filament and the way it colors the smoke is terrific. I shall have to try this some time, sounds like fune... especially with the extra "tips" you provided this time around.

Maybe I'm dense, but I'm not seeing what is miniature in this photo?

Nice composition, but is it "every day" enough? I know a lot of people who wouldn't have a clue what this is! (BTW, I wonder if you'll get a DQ request like I did when I submitted my variant of this shot?)

Physical and Abstract Balance

Congrats on your first ribbon Daniel! This sounds like it was a lot of work, and I'm glad to see it worked out for you. There is something oddly captivating about the fact that the stick isn't perfectly horizontal, nor the edge of the sintra -- almost like the balance is unstable and may become unbalanced at any second. Really nice color palette. Great job! Go Team Canon! (P.S. I found myself staring into the steel balls trying to see what was around the camera when you took the picture. :-)

A Daring Escape

Terrific shot Shannon! I didn't get a chance to vote in this challenge, but if I did, this likely would have been my highest rated image. Love the concept, and your execution is great. The DOF is spot-on; I really like how the wood grain of the table blurs smoothly away... I know how hard it is to control reflections in a roundish object like your fishbowl, and you did an admirable job. Congrats on your first ribbon!

What a terrific capture Jodie! Congrats on getting your second ribbon so soon after your first. The more I look at your picture, the better it gets. I hope to one day be able to take a landscape picture as good as you do!
