Nice capture here with good framing of the lead runner and the pack behind. Love the gal in the back checking her time.

Nicely caught action. The process gives it a gritty feel although I am not sure I like it better than if it was more natural. Perhaps crop off some of the top to emphasis the subjects more.

Great moment caught at a peak of action. Perhaps crop off the top 20% and remove the red tent.

Training To Be A Hunting Dog

Love the composition with the green field leading to the dog and person. Really wish the persons face was more visible. There is a saying in sports photography - face, face, ball. You nailed 2 out of 3 here with the throw toy easily counting as the "ball".

As a fellow Osprey shooter I am so jealous. My nearby shooting locations are all on nests rather the "fishing" spots. I do get the bird bringing fish to the nest sometimes, but not the wet dripping water shots like this. Well done.

As far as the highlight. Tough bird to shoot. Sometimes needs to reduce them to 70s or 80s even if they are not blown out in the 90s. You can also clone in a 10-20% opacity yellow/brown sometimes to take the edge off.

This one resonated with me and I thought it should finish in the top half. It is not a traditionally pretty subject. Probably did not resonate with the more able-bodied, as much as those who have been in this situation.

Great title as well.

I like the composition, with the walker at a angle. Using an angle makes it super hard to keep much of the person in focus. Motions panning also really shows all your sensor dust.

Great looking image. Nice and sharp. Background seems more out of focus than motion blurred.

Dinner Prep: Roasted Salmon and Mango Slaw

Wonderful image. So homey and welcoming. Light is a bit harsh. Also I would move everything a tab forward and loose the shadow at the top.
