Caught and Released Manaray
by Kelli

Comment:
Wow, a whole lot of splashing going on here! ;^) Looks like an exciting outing. I wish the manaray was more identifiable. You've stopped most of the motion - not quite fast enough on the shutter speed as I see some motion blur, but overall very good. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Full Extension

That duck has some nice color. Speaking of color, something seems off in the color tones in this image. Also appear to be a little underexposed as well. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Apple Shot

Comment:
Ok. I've seen enough of these to know I need to get the equipment to try it - I think. ;^) Nothing personal, this shot is quite an accomplishment I'm sure, but some others I've seen like it are a little sharper and set up differently in lighting to make it more dramatic. The bullet and spray on the left seem slightly blurred and noisy/grainy.

This is ok. I know the planes are moving and you've stopped the motion per the challenge, but something just seems kind of static about this. Nothing personal...it's a good capture overall. I would like to see a little more space at the bottom but it's not critical. Other than that it's sharp and well exposed. Hope it does well for you. Good luck.

Well this is certainly a unique egg shot. ;^) Don't think I've ever seen one quite like this. Good image for doing the selective desat...works well here. Have stopped all motion quite effectively. Should do ok with this one. Good luck.

Mine!!!

What game are they playing? The ball looks like a volleyball, but the players are in the same court area. You've certainly captured 'Stopped Motion' here. Not seeing any motion trails/blur anywhere. I do find the gal in the back left distracting as she's drawing my attention out of the main subject area (I like her pose and obvious involvement in the action). Good luck in the challenge.

Exploding Glass

Comment:
Wow. Was that really a glass? Pretty cool shatter if it was. Should get some wow points for this. It's different than many similar images in this challenge with exploding this or that... Will be interested in the photograhers comments on this one after the challenge is over. ;^) Good luck.

Precision

Comment:
Sharp image. Motion certainly stopped. The smoke trails lend to leading lines of a sort, and the formation pattern is good. Fun to look at image, should do ok for you. Good luck.

I like the post-processing with the B/W and the glow effect. It feels a bit underexposed on lighting. You've done a good job stopping the motion catching her mid-stride and the hair blowing back. Her shadow adds interest (you picked a good time of day for dramatic lighting). Best of luck to you.

Time Stands Still for Two

Hmmm. Interesting. Non-conformist with the blurred people around the main subject. ;^) May come back to bite you with the voters. It's a cool effect and gives additional interest to this image...only time will tell. I like the desat, very clever in this situation. Your subject may be a bit small to get maximum impact from the voters (in comparison to all the motion around the subject). JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.
