8 - Great action shot. Criticism; different angle, showing the ball more, not sure. Maybe 'full length', not sure, more/different perspective, could make this a better shot, in my opinion.

8 - Good action shot. Good colors. Criticism; sharper and more focus on either his face or the shuttlecock or forearm, would make this a better shot for me. A little closer too.

8 - I really like this shot. Great action shot, especially of the horse. I just noticed the shadow of the hooves too, which looks great. Great angle, great 'feel'. I like the hat. Criticism; the perspective is good but for me, not sure, maybe a different crop, different angle, perhaps a nudge rotation to the left, not sure. Maybe black and white would work really well for this shot, don't know. Of course, more focus and sharpness, making the horse and rider (and hat) really stand out against the dirt/dust, would make this a much better photograph in my opinion. Good capture.

8 - Good shot. Criticism; although the flags, etc give good perspective, for me I think this would be a better shot with just the sky and clouds behind. Enhancing those, bolder, brighter colors and more focus. Either a dirtier, muddier bike and rider (better), or a cleaner one, one or the other would make this a better photograph in my opinion.

8 - Good action shot and good perspective. Criticism; difficult when it is self-posed but, maybe less of a crop, sharper, more color, no tongue sticking out, for me would make this a better shot. Capturing/enhahcing the 'wave slash' would be good too.

8 - Great action shot. Criticism; maybe a slightly sharper angle, not sure. Water enhanced more somehow. Sharper focus on the kayaker. A little more 'depth' and color would make this a better shot for me.

8 - Good action shot. Good crowd feel too. Criticism; sharper focus, more 'bold, on the rider, maybe tighter crop (top right), perhaps showing more depth/perspective of where he is going to land.

8 - Great action shot. Good intensity capture. Another 'home feel/run of the mill scrimmage' shot. Criticism; maybe richer colors, more/sharper focus on the ball, slightly different angle, maybe making it look like he is 'coming out' of that 'scrum'.

8 - Good shot. Criticism; whilst the background is very nice as is, for me, even simplified with a tighter crop removing the house and car would make this a better shot. Maybe a little lighter on the parasailor, or at least the harness, but primarily the parasail and the strings emphasized would make it better. Perhaps slightly richer color in that, but then that is likely difficult with such a rich background. Perhaps if the focal point was changed the background may have been more blurred, which may have worked better, not sure.

Great Shot

8 - Good clean simple shot. Criticism; 'if only' that ball were 'motionless', or just sharper, more focus, not sure how or 'what'. Seems the ring and net is in focus, and for me, either enhance the ring or else get the ball in focus. Great angle, nice and clean. Good simple colors.
