Geez, tug-a-wars are really fun. Not too many people get involved in them anymore. Guess there were a few accidents. This image has a pretty nice composition in terms of the arrangement of the players. It could use a teeny bit more focus on the closest arm and I'd love to lose some of the competing background objects - specifically the dead tree. But, it is reflective of the action and effort involved and it is a different kind of sport than your normal football, basketball, baseball, etc. Nice shot. Good luck in the challenge.

Great capture of the expression on the children's faces. I like this one done in b&w.

Good concept but I don't understand why the light is in the picture?

I wish I had thought of this! Great use of B&W (bet the color was too busy!). Like how it makes you look down the line of some very determined faces. Excellent composistion.

The toaster and the taost popping up is marvelous. The lamp fights for attention and is not needed in the grand scheme of things. Tungsten lighting worked ok - I like toe resultant color tint.

Excellent shot! Love the natual pose. The straight razor makes me cringe.
This shot almost creates a feeling of expectation "is he gonna cut himself or what?"
Good compostion, focus and exposure. Well done.
