Great placement of the sweetspot. I like the detail in the center of the image. It's like a frame within a frame. Nicely seen and captured!

Is that really called a "rabbit bush"? That's a fun name...never heard of it before. We have plenty of rabbits, but they don't have their own bush. :-P

The high contrast on this photo works well for interest. I like how the sweet spot hits the dip in the bush and brings the dark area to front. Pretty sharp details - look at the dust floating in the bg.

Next time, try and find the rabbit to put in your shot. :-D

This shot really shows how the LB bends the light. You can see two distinct areas that have been altered from reality. Kinda cool!

I have to admit, the thumbnail drew me in, but now that I'm here it's even better. :-) Many photographers would be trying to tone down the highlights on the reeds (myself included), however the way you've let them run up really adds to the contrast and gives this photo life on a potentially mundane subject. Nicely done!

I really like this photo. The suspended leaf is cool, and the bg bokeh is wonderful. Had I not known this was shot with a LB I'd have no idea seeing it otherwise. That is something fun to think about. :-)

Looks like you even caught some of the "turf" flying in the air post-swing. :-) This works well as a centered comp. I find usually I'm off-center with the LB to get that blur effect.

I'm just getting an early look at some of what's been posted for the LB challenge and the thumbnail for this caught my eye from the forum thread. Haven't determined what path you're taking yet, or if you have a theme - but this shot is a thinker for me. Can't decide if I like it or not now that I've seen it full-size. Part of me wishes the focal point had hit the star somewhat, but the abstract feel of the "miss" is unique as well. Hmmm...

One of my top picks for this challenge that didn't make Top Ten. :-\

This is a beautiful piece of work. Enjoyed reading your comments today on how you achieved this capture - thanks for sharing! :-)
