Do you live in Japan?? Thats tatami on the floor right? I think that the background doesnt add to the picture as there is no link between the two, would have been better if the ball had been moving through the air, with some panning. IMO

I love the angle here and I think you have created a good sense of motion.

Maybe you didnt use a tripod for this shot.... I think that it would have been more effective to have had the buidlings in the background in focus and then concentrated on the lights from the car in the front

I think that this is a fantastic picture and I wouldnt be at all surprised if it won! I love the colours and the graffitti on the wall really adds interest! Good Luck in the challenge.

Wonderful use of shadows and lighting. What a forlorn little bear!

A Melancholy Song

This really is a gorgeous picture, the mood of it is portrayed well and I love the title. Just a few comments, I think that the shadows under the eyes are a bit dark for such a delicate subject. Also the DOF could be a bit deeper, for example the hands are a bit soft. One more thing, a quick iron of the sheet would have been good! Overall, its a wonderful picture and I am sure it will do very well! Good Luck
