Wow..powerful shot! I would definitely crop out the bottom up to the point where you don't have the horizontal blackness on the left, but still have the cross or rooftop on the right. Incredible lightning catch.

I think I like this one the best of your set. I do think the colors need some work and if you can't get the right tone, perhaps you can convert to black and white.

I like her slight sideways orientation on this, I like both smiles and the bit of sun/highlight on her dark hair. I also think the lighting on the faces is a bit more even than on many of the others.

Okay...I think this one was vastly underated in this challenge. I love the golden lighting, the detail in the eyes and fur and the framing with the leaves. The square crop really brings the viewer's focus right to the animals face.

Your skating shots are pretty amazing considering the action and I'm sure less than ideal lighting. You've done a great job and any of these look like they could be on a sports or entertainment page in the paper.

This is an elegant and flawless shot. Beautiful capture of a beautiful form.

I think this is very well done. I'm not too sure about the expression, but the technicals are spot on.

The thumbnail drew me to this one, but the larger version didn't have the focus I was hoping for. Colors and composition are, as always, so pretty. The larger OOF area in front is a little distracting for me.

This one makes me smile too. How nice of him to pose for you! Looks like he's really just enjoying the perfect day. I like the sky here too.

Love the line of the pier leading out to the water. The bike is the subject, but the setting is a perfect location for it.

How pretty. I like the pinks and yellows together. Nice series and this whole gallery is a treat for the eyes :)
