The swallow

I like the lighting and the composition, and that the shadow forms a cross. Although I have left a bit more space on the left instead of centering the subject, in order to leave him space in the direction of the movement. The one thing that disturbs me quite much is that this shot is blurrrrrrryyyyyyyyyy...

I like this subject a much! :-) Anyway, it's a bit too blurry for me, I would have used a simpler and more homogenic background to highlight the Mantis, and the lighting is also a bit glaring for me above him.

I really like this idea, anyway I would have left just as much space from the cross on the top, as you left on the sides, and I think it's a little bit noisy, too.

Nice one, I like this. :-) The composition is very neat! The ivy is a good idea around the basket, is it real or not? About lighting: well, I am a beginner, I can't deceide whether it's good or not yet, but when I reach that chapter and study it, i will tell you my opinion. May I keep the recipe?

Thank you all for your helpful comments, this challenge taught me a lot.

Some reflections on your comments: It was really hard to catch him paying no attention, he started waving and smiling when he saw the camera. Next time I will pay attention to spaces and not-too-much-centered compositions. Of course, I needed PS, in order to get rid of some colours. The B&W idea came from the environment which was almost absolutely grey. Anyway, I am not sure about it now. Maybe the kid being coloured against all greys would be also an expression of being alone-coloured in this colourless world.

Congrats on this one Csoka! I thought it would get higher results, though. The different coloured white marbles didn't disturb me, it said for me that the whites accept de differences among them, but not the black. Being pushed out, I think the black is alone enough. Good work!

This is a wonderful one! Congrats! Only thing I would add is that maybe I would not have put the small leaf on the larg one.
