Oh WOW! Great job! Love the height of this image with the extended tail. You might consider a different crop - one that takes the subject out of the middle a bit more. Otherwise, I like it a lot!

Oooh! Nice capture! Love the motion and subject. You might consider straightening the horizon a bit (I understand that it adds to the "jump" when slanted, but I think you can lessen the angle and still achieve the same effect). Oddly enough, I had never really tried to photograph a horse until the rodeo at the VA State Fair last year (you recently selected one of my rodeo shots as your pick in a forum thread). Since then, I've been fascinated by these magnificent animals - the musculature, the grace, the beauty,... Well done.

Good focus and natural color. Robins are always good subjects. Nice DOF.

Great use of negative space. You might consider adding a catchlight in the bird's eye (since it's not in a basic challenge) to give the image a little more pop. :-)

Nice capture. I just love wetlands birds. These graceful creatures are so much fun to photograph. The focus is a tad off, but the "action" and "motion" inherent in the image is worth it. Good job.

Yeah, I guess there's still a little cleaning up to do... Doggonit! ;-)

Thanks for the feedback & for pointing out my oversights; and I'll try to post an updated version later tonight. =)

My guess would be (very young) drag queen working girls... It definitely gives a prostitute first impression (at least to me).

WTG Judi! This is so cool! Love the tones and editing - plus it has a dark side, which always appeals to me! WELL DONE!
