got a Jesus Complex and grew a beard

One of those shots where you wonder if the photographer saw the shadow while taking the shot, or found it afterwards. I wish for you that you found it afterwards, because I have found myself that that's the most delightful way to interact with your own images. :)

Shouldn't have viewed this so late at night. :)

Bowling with the Little People

The composition is very impressive - framed on either side by the adults as it is, and that subtle finger on the reset button is like the prize in a Cracker Jack box.

What a work of art this is - that sports mode was a blessing, you may never have taken this processing route without it. :)

Sorry it took so long to get around to this, Jeffrey. Another great shot here - although I can only imagine what your wife would have done to you if she saw you setting this up with her good wine glasses. :)

Vibrant and energetic abstract - you are a brave man to have entered it. :)

Do you smell something?

Must be love, we always do crazy things for love. This gave me a good laugh, and didn't deserve to be so punished.

The arch and its reflection looks like a huge eye. :) This is a very professional shot, Jeffrey. Good job, and congrats on your ribbon!

The Great Leap

Comment:
This isn't just "another" swing - doesn't anyone remember swinging so hard and fast, getting up speed, and then LAUNCHing off? We used to play games to see how far we could launch. This is the best way to show that supremely childhood activity without including the child. I can easily imagine the child, out of shot on the right, in a crouch after having just landed, as the seat has moved into the backswing. Easily the best conceptual shot, and the best swing shot (because of the story it tells) of this challenge.

In Ice, Light, and Shadow

I agree with you, I think it was because your framing lines were diagonal, that threw people. Tilt your head, it's obvious! :) I liked the look of this, I thought it was a great study of light and shadow.
