I hope you gave your model a suitable reward! How many takes did it take?

Great detail. Good job making the subject stand out from similarly-toned background.

A little faster shutter speed to stop the motion/sharpen the image would look better. Good composition.

On a Wing and a Prayer

I've been shooting a lot of pigeons (with my camera) as well -- nice stop-motion capture.

Original idea ... the busy background makes it hard to focus on the subject though.

A Drifting Rest

Hey that's nice! The ONLY thing that might have helped is if both kayakers had their paddles down. The one on the left could be drifting in that pose, but could be paddling too, and that probably hurt with cranky people looking for a reason to knock off a point or two.

I like the lighting/coloring and soft look you gave it as well.

Exactly what I thought as I scrolled down! Maybe it's a typo for 1/2000?

Super clarity and fortuitous "pose!"

Hey, I only missed by one continent and one ocean!

From this distance the bridge looks a lot like the bridge over the Columbia at Astoria, Oregon.

Thanks, I'll pass along the compliments to my brother. I don't even know what kind of camera he used for this -- it was in the pre-digital days.
BTW, Cynthia's our (second?) cousin.
