8 - Met the Challenge (I consider hands in this 'trade' a definite tool - thus I see at least 2 toolS). This photograph has a certain 'feel' to it that I can't describe sufficiently; a little dramatic, or intense - not sure. I think it is the sepia? effect, can't quite place it. Criticism; I would like to see that forearm either more focussed (though I know that the hand on the left may be 'lost' then) or perhaps it cropped a little tighter there at the bottom. Also, more of the hands, on the right and the left, in the frame would make this a better picture in my opinion. Good character in this photograph.

8 - Met the Challenge (I consider hands in this trade a tool - thus I see 2 toolS). Criticism; I like the b/w however perhaps in color the 'tool(s)' may have been more discernible. If I could clearly see the tools AND that left fore 'something' were not there I would have given a 9. Perhaps a slightly tighter crop may have been better. A different angle, perhaps even getting down to ground level in this situation. I was glad to see a shearer - original.

2 - DMC - No discernible creativity or effort here for the challenge. No action. Too zoomed/pixelated. Should have at least got the dog in action, but still, in my opinion that is not really a 'sport'.

2 - DMC - No discernible creativity or effort here for the challenge. I get it, but if you had pointed the camera to the right, you may have got a good shot. There is not even any 'crowd action' here.

2 - DMC - The action is 'out there' (and doesn't look like much happening there either). No discernible creativity or effort here for the challenge.
