Just a little bit too shallow DOF for my taste. Otherwise, terriffic!

Great subject and composition, but I recommend easing off on the sharpening.

Nice action shot. Good dynamics. Great focus. A bit too sharp (board and sandle edges) for my taste. Easy does it on unsharp mask.

Beautiful photo and nicely done in the style of the photographer. The rays of light are a very nice touch.

"Ons vir jou Suid Afrika": a tribute to.....

Part of the fun of the challenge is comparing the photos to the work of the photographers they're paying tribute to. I can't figure out who that would be in this case. Otherwise it a pleasing abstract image.

I actually like this photo quite a bit. Focus and lighting on the subject is quite good. DOF was well chosen. If I knew whose style you were emulating and if I could determine it's representative, I could have scored this image 2-3 points higher.

The bold vibrant primary colors are attractive. Saturation works well. I like the foreground-background shapes. If I knew whose style you're emulating and if I could determine if it was representative, I could have given this photo 3-4 more points in my vote.

I am not too fond of abstacts so my reaction to this might be a bit pre-ordained. It feels to me that the centered composition would be less interesting than an off centered one consistent with the golden mean / rule of thirds. Now you may have intentionally centered the composition, and that's fine, but it wouldn't be my preference.

The background is a bit noisy and the subject a bit sharp. You may have intended this look but it would not be my preference.
