Dragon Fly

I know this dragonfly COULD be moving, but it doesn't look like it is, especially with it's legs on the branch. :( Considering that the challenge theme is 'Stopped Motion' you are probably going to take some flack on this one. JMO of course. The dragonfly itself could be better focused, it seems soft. The end of the leftmost stick looks blownout, yet the dragonfly seems slightly underexposed...not sure how that happened? Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Jumping Waves

Cool jump! He's getting up there. You've caught the action at the pivotal moment is seems. Water is nicely frozen - maybe a little hot but not bad. The jetski is well focused and I'm not sure how you could have composed this any differently for better impact. Should do ok with this. Good luck.

Good title! ;^) The dust at the feet makes this image work (along with the feet off the ground). B/W was a good choice to eliminate background distractions. Slight blur or fuzziness in the body area, and his shirt is a little hot (overexposed), are a couple of observations that could impact your score with viewers on the down side. Good luck in the challenge.

Overhead

Wow. Now that is detailed, you can dang near count the rivets! Question, how do I know this is moving? Just being a bit cynical (sp?), but seriously, it's hard for the viewer to get a sense of context here and the challenge calls for 'Stopped Motion'. If you've really captured this, this sharply, and this plane IS moving - then WOW! ;^) Good luck in the challenge.

POP

This one is fun. Creative idea and mostly well executed. The expression on her face works, composition is fine with the popcorn coming across the top third of the image. Couple of minor nits; 1) The lighting on the popcorn and the bowl is a little strong (not sure how you could have reduced it and kept details on her - sorry) and 2) Don't take this personally, but her skin around the eyes and on the forehead is a little oily and this has caused some distracting glare. Hope this does ok for you because it IS a fun image. Good luck.

Buzz Off!

This is a challenging shot to get and have it meet the Stopped Motion theme of the challenge. The wings appear to have been stopped, but they are a little blurry, which could be simply from DOF and your aperture setting rather than too slow a shutter speed. The bee does look not quite sharp overall, where the flower is... Good luck in the challenge.

Breaking Point

Kudos to you if this motion was really stopped here. It appears that the bulb has been placed on a mirror. Unusual to see a bulb dropped and not have some pieces flying out a little. Hmmm. Will be interested to see how you did this after the challenge. Did you shift the color hue some to get the bulb greenish blue like that?

The most beautiful game..

What game is it? The goals are rather small, but that looks like a soccer ball. Something about the lighting in this seems odd. The faces are quite dark and the grass looks yellowish (same for the buildings in the top background). You have done a nice job stopping the motion per the challenge theme. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Oh no! It's going to crash, the rotors have stopped turning!!! Wait. That's just your shutter speed. He-he. Nice job of stopping the motion. You've managed to take an image of an aircraft WITHOUT centering it in your composition. Hooray! Good to see that. Even the top of the tree helps here as it adds context to the image. Others will find that tree top distracting I imagine, but hey, this IS DPChallenge. ;^) Color in the sky seems off, but it may be the time of day? Good luck.

Got it!

You've stopped the motion ok. This shot has some additional impact potential had you gotten lower to the ground, maybe include some foreground grass up close. Lighting is a little harsh. If you dropped the highlights a little, and brought up the midtones it might help (in Post-Processing). A polarizer would have helped this image and colors pop tremendously. All JMO of course. ;^) Good luck in the challenge.
