Better with the light source moved behind your right shoulder, perhaps. Great sharpness and a nice, tight comp.

O' wow something I can't do at all. Very good. Nice shot, just wish the light had been a tad bit better.

Drum polished stones to my mind don't fit the challenge.

Pretty cool, have you notified the local museum? LOL I'm not sure if the pine cone adds to or detracts from the shot. Nice color and focus. DPz

Gracious, I really enjoyed this photo. It was one of my favs in the free study challenge :) Maybe you could elaborate on what is visible through the hole in the wood? That puzzled me from the beginning, but I still love the shot :)

Greetings from the critique Club :)

Gracious,

The capture of motion here is nice, but the image quality is lacking. You did not include your camera settings for this shot, so I can't really comment on how they affected the outcome of the image. It looks like high iso probably..

Compositionally, I would have tried to include the feet of the girl in the foreground. "Marching" is the theme of this shot and the feet that are doing this marching are cut off in the bottom of the frame.

Shots like this one are difficult for sure :)

interesting subjects... but I think the l light source appears to be artifical and thus detracts from the nature of the challenge

This has some serious potential, but it\'s missing something, I can\'t put a finger on it. I don\'t know what the rest of the wood looks like, so I\'m not sure if you can step back a bit without bringing something ugly into the shot. Or maybe something of greater interest in the window like a sunset or a flower, maybe a tree??? I like the subject - 8 Gotcha

It would have been better if not so grainy. Good effort. Nice hand motion.
