That's an Aussie for ya. They, and Border Collies do so well in agility and frisbee. What a great up in the air shot!!!

I love the repetitiousness of all the swans. Great title. The blue and white is lovely against each other. The composition is done quite well here.

I'm so glad to know how you did that. What a wonderful photo. I gave it one of my highest scores and I'm glad others agreed. Good one.

This has a great fun sense to it. I feel like it is a tad washed out, but for some reason, it doesn't bother me here. It's a bright day and that kid is out in it having fun on I assume a trampoline. Great expression. LOL He'll look back at this when he's 30 and chuckle. The symmetry is almost necessar to create this image. The focus is amazingly clear, considering the circumstance. I'd have ore negative space above his head but that's my only real critique.

Great rule of thirds. I like his streamline bill - you have to look at it to figure out where his head is. Nice sky too. I give this an 8.

I've looked at this several times without commenting. I like his folded hands and look of consternation. His face is in shadow, which is to be expected as you are under him looking up. I like it probably more than I should and I don't know why. It almost makes me think he has control and maybe he is sinister and you are the victim below. NOt having the circle perfectly centered adds to the interest of the shot. I think I watch way too many crime scene tv shows. LOL Good one. 8

Roman columns

This is striking with nice contrast. I wish we could see more of the columns and sense the ground a bit more.

I like that you are shooting up under the goose, which suits the challenge. I do think it's cropped a bit tightly. I'd like to see more negative space and the bird not so centered in the shot.

The "Castle"

I like the perspective and it certainly suits the challenge. Not crazy about the purple sky. I'd rather it be gray and not a single saturation of color. OR I'd like to see the whole thing in color with a beautiful blue sky Nice angle to the shot. Good detail considering the distance from the stone blocks of the building.
