LOL Ken, luckily that sun stuff DOES happen during summer!
And thanks for the pat on the back.

A Rite of Spring

Because you asked in a thread "What was wrong with this photo?", here is my humble opinion.

I didn't vote, but when I looked at it just now, I felt let down.

Daffodils have such a happy bright color and are one of the clearest symbols of spring.

However, instead of happy and bright, I saw one solitary flower, wilting, in dark light.

Your image - to MY eyes - looks depressing, perhaps even foreboding.
I am not against photos of that sort of mood, but I prefer it when the mood matches the subject - e.g. an abandoned building, cemetary, forest (and many many more) are great for a dark mood; but daffodils are NOT on that list.

Please don't get mad at me. Those are MY emotions, and feelings aren't right or wrong, they just ARE.

Fantastic idea! Her expression is so good (i.e. neutral and somewhat sleepy) that I think she truly didn't know what was going on behind her. Well done!!

Apart from the text which will get it disqualified, I don't like the strong blue color cast. With the proper lighting, this would be a nice shot - good timing on a great jump!

Nice idea and a very pretty pattern, but I have no idea why you sat this on top of a crooked newspaper ????? I wish the background was a strong PLAIN primary color, and perhaps with a square crop.

I like the point of view here... feels like we're down there and close to the action.
I think it would look even better with a more shallow DOF to blur out the busy background.

Have a light?
