Running track

well, ground, but sidways, not really up. Usually, it's best to leave a moving object room to move. Your runner is leaving, the brain wants to know what so great off camera. The even weight between the track, and theupper part is a little ordinary. Gives too much weight to the ground as a subject, especially with the way bright highlight down on the bottom. Combination of the white line, runner, and bright green lawn going to the right make the whole picture seem off balance.

Sorry to be slightly harsh, but people complain when you don't comment. These were my thoughts. What you do with them is your decision.

Doesn't seem to fit the challenge. Picture is a little washed out. Nice expressions on the kids, but would have been more engaging if they were looking at the camera.

From the Ground, UP!

Great picture, but doesn't really give me the feeling of lookin up, more out. Tried to grasp a possible metaphor, but nothing doin. Neat capture of a "moment" but composition kinda leave me flat.

Congrats on your ribbon. I was thinking more of grade school/junior high ostracism until I read your description.

Ravine & River

This should be a great picture, but for few things.

The rock face seems to be the subject, but the low contrast and sharpness of the object lead your eye down to the river to the begining rapids which take your eye right off the page because there's nothing in the trees to draw you back in at the bottom right. Your brian wan't to know where all tha water is rushing off to, and then it rushes off also.

Can't help but wonder if this would not be an absolutely awesome fall color shot though, with the bright deciduous parts of the forest capturing your attention more, and leading your eyes back in.

The silhouette would be nice, but being placed nest to such a detailed background kind of muddies the waters too much. I wonder how this could change with the sun on the opposite side, and possibly lower to bring out the detail on the, well, thing, instead of hiding it, to more focus your attention on it.

The focus looks sharpest on the line, and the birds face and body appear to be slightly OOF, which confuses my eyes as to subject. Keeps leading me down to the line. Over all I'd say the comp is good, but that flaw overrides that. better color in the sky would have been nice. 5
