oh, how i can relate to this. every day with 2 children. if they put half the energy into just doing the work that they do complaining about it, it would get done in a quarter of the time. you have really captured the challenge here. good luck!

[just as an aside, i think the border here is way, way too strong for the image.]

The Signal Authority
by kaske666

Comment:
while i like this one for the colors and imagery, i'm not getting any feel for authority. i mean, for authority to be real, it must be respected. in your image, there is too much motion to indicate that the signal is being obeyed...

great take on the challenge. while i can appreciate the short dof, i do wish the subject itself was more in focus. good luck.

beautiful capture. probably could have cropped out 10-15% of the dead space on the right to make it a bit stronger. lighting and focus are perfect. good luck!

wish you hadn't cropped off the feet. i like the image, but don't really see this as authority.

great take on the challenge. don't understand the broken pencil, though. also, you might want to check your WB settings; the florescent lighting really gives this an ugly cast. all the same, this is one of my top picks for the challenge. good luck.

i see a nice image of a guy on a horse, but not seeing anything that really conveys authority.
