Well, you know what -- I like this shot. It conveys that sick dizzy feel you get from spinning. I don't mind the focus. A little more contrast and a levels adjustment might improve it a bit. Or -- I don't know how you converted it to b&w, but you might want to take a look at the tutorial on that subject. There is a lot that can be done to adjust the b&w quality when desaturating.

Nice idea for the Still challenge. Great use of shallow DOF. The colors are restful. Good entry.

Oh Catherine, I'm so glad this shot is yours. A score over 6 is good, but not good enough for this image -- it's a beauty.

Nice capture of the hair, but what I really like about this shot is the spark in the model's expression. She's lovely, and the lighting really caught her beauty.

Well, in my opinion, this is a very ugly image. BUT it's a very ugly subject, and this was an excellent use for the "spin" challenge. You won hands down in my book. Bring on the OOBIE!!!!

Now that makes me smile. An adorable shot of an adorable kid. Looks like he has a new best friend.

Nice Bokeh and colors in the background. The subject is a little lacking in interest for me, and seems in stark contrast to the lovely background.
