Great shot and reflection, Deb. The reds really jump off the photo.

I love the way you brought out the ominousness of the clouds. But the pic is slightly off horizontal.

I saw this being built on the TV show....was a great show. Very nice work on the desaturation. Again...my opinion....red is overdone with these as well...haha.

Yeah...I'm full of opinions.

This photo is a great shot in low light. The hand and arm moving do distract from the quality of the shot.

The colors and crop are good. It looks like it might be a bit smoky in there, which works.

I guess the biggest problem with the photo is tieing it to a cultural event. I don't see how it fits.

This photo is perfectly in focus and very crisp. The colors are spot on.

I'm not too sure on the crop. I'd like to see some more space on the right hand side. As was said earlier there are better body positions to capture than right at the start. I'd like to see him either in the blocks or on his first stride for this shot.

Hope this helps.

Water Ballet, as performed by 'Hettie' the Hippo

As you've gotten from a lot of the previous commenters, this doesn't seem to relate to sports for the majority of people. Without the title, it wouldn't fit at all.

While a fatastic capture, the photo is a bit boring. The majority of the photo is made up of shades of brown. It also seems to me that the focus is on some of the weeds in the front, rather on the hippo's feet.

Blue ribbon by the river

I think a different crop on this would have done it a lot better. If you would have cropped around the rope and the reflection, it would have made the photograph symmetrical.

Maybe if you had sharpened a little more and saturated the colors a bit more to make the rope pop, it would look a little better.

As it is, the focus is dead on and the reflections are magnificent. If one takes the time, they see the rope, a bunch of trees, and a barn.

Keep on shooting.

While this photograph isn't exactly symmetrical, I see where you were going. It's a great capture that you got with the 2 in almost the exact same "pose".

The colors seem just a tad oversaturated. Also, the subjects are pretty much centered. If you would have moved them a bit to the left, making it look as if they were moving through the picture, it might have scored a bit higher.

Actually, it's makeup for a mass casualty training situation. That's my buddy and she does play softball, and she'd be showing this off if it was real, too.
