Hey, I like this! My only suggestion would be to crop more off the right so the horse's head isn't so centered. You obviously found an audience who appreciates blurred motion shots, since you got 3 10s!

Well, first, congrats on meeting your goal! :) I like the shapes you created, and the dark part in the lower right is placed well to draw my attention. I think the other commenters are right that a little more light in there would give me something to see when my attention goes there. Even shining a flashlight in there would help. Finally, congrats on your new 3rd-best score!

A Most Unusual Centerpiece

Ha! How'd I miss this? Very clever, and certainly one of the more unusual entries.

I like how the frame divides the picture into equal pieces, leaving the two breakouts as contrasting shapes on either side. Although it's hard to tell, it looks like it might be a little blurry. How does it look with the dark part at the top cropped out?

Anyway, congrats on a new member of your personal top 5! :)

I like this one a lot. It's actually similar in feel to an outtake I should've entered.

Hi Jack. I'm curious whether this is what you were going for. If so, congrats! If not, then keep playing with angles and lighting - don't let the score discourage you. :)

Congrats on your new second-best score, Rob AND top 20! This is a really cool use of selective desat. And, of course, you started with a strong composition, which really is required to get a good result.

Hooray, David, on ANOTHER personal best! Two in three challenges - pretty amazing. Very nice use of shallow DOF to focus attention on the hands to fit the title.
