That is such a great shot! Blur or no blur, I love the expression on the little girl's face, and the kitten is beautifully sharp. B&W works extremely well here. Sweet, sweet work.

Very beautiful. I love the beigeish cast.

Very cool. I was thinking it would make a good silk print for a full skirt -- not that anyone wears full skirts anymore.

Another happy accident -- very cool and Holga-esque.

I carry one of those mini-maglites (it's about two inches long and runs on one AAA battery) in my bag.

I'm with the others. I see a deer not a bear. Quibble, quibble, quibble... Interesting shot and use of that white background. (Negative space?)

SD16: Will It Go Round In Circles

Great shot -- I love how only his body is in focus with the motion blur in the background and his disappearing legs. Great capture.

Just a suggestion, but you might up the contrast a smidge and make him stand out more.

Super!!! Just having the hood in focus makes this look like something surging out of the water.

Very cool capture -- sort of social commentary meets street photography on the beach.

I can see why you went for the desat, but IMNSHO I'd rather see pure B&W or the original color (depending on what it looks like). I think this is because while the girl's kimono and obi are colorful, they aren't that colorful and she doesn't stand out a whole lot from the background. (I said this was my NSHO!)

It' an above average shot. Good work.

Coos shot. Only one quibble -- if it's night, it should be a tad darker. I know, I've been hanging around the DNMC crowd too much. ;)

Seriously cool. I like how the bird and the stuff in the upper right is in focus and not the little girl. Good b&w, too.
