her glow...

I mostly like the picture of the subject... but the white line on the left causes some distraction. The very front of her face may be a tad over exposed, though I love the lighting on the rest of her skin.

This photo, for some reason, really turned me on. I didn't know how well it would place, but I handed out an extra 10 on this one hoping to see it score well. Congratulations! And thanks for showing us that even the simple things in life can be beautiful.

I wondered how this was done. Awesome photo! I had it pegged for top 3 giving it one of my 10's. Congratulations, very well done.

I loved this photo. Never had time to comment on any photos during the challenge as I was traveling, but I had this one pegged for the blue. Congratulations!

Faster than a Speeding Dolphin

Okay... I have 2 daughters and one son on the swim team. You would be hard pressed to convince them that swimming is not a "team sport" (races are performed as a team, scoring is based on team results and some races, such as relays, actually require multiple participants in a single lane to obtain a score).

Still... I get what everyone is saying. Those that couldn't think of swimming as a "team sport" were looking more for physical contact or interaction between team members rather than just team participation. I understand. The challenge, of course, did not say any such interaction was necessary. But I do appreciate the feedback.

I also appreciate the votes that were given! Thanks!

My only complaint here would be that hot air balloons move so slowly that there isn't a lot of 'action' to be stopped... otherwise, I love this image! Good luck in the challenge!

Can't tell if it was ever in motion ... might be a parked car. In my voting, I'm looking more for obvious images of action which have been frozen by the camera.
