Nice expression on the young man and captured well. Good blur on the arm indicating speed. Nice deppth of field. To be picky, would like to see contrasted clouds in blue sky.

2 - DMC - A very nice portrait but - that is not what you were challenged to do. Running in your socks does not a 'sports action shot' make. Maybe there were no nearby 'sports action' opportunities, I don't know - does that mean you have to forego the challenge? If there was absolutely nothing else you could have 'created' to 'fit' (find that very difficult to believe) - in my opinion, yes.

edit: this picture has 'stuck' with me so I am taking the liberty of adding it to my favorites. I hope you enter a similar one in a 'innocence' or 'carefree' or 'childhood' etc Challenge one day. It is has a very 'pure' and carefree feel to it that is endearing and unique. Also, fyi, the 'Outing with Grandpa' I thought was another 'special' shot, as are others I have seen of yours, like Fraehulstur. I like your style.

Very crisp. The blur on the hands show that the boy is moving quickly. The expression is great. I tried to get a clear shot like this along with the background on my shot but it didn't turn out as well.

I like this photo. I don't know if it's my screen (laptop) or not....but the dog looks pixelated? Something...not sure what...but love the shot.

Strong compositions, and wonderful candid expressions. The lighting, with the bright background and low light frontal tones, takes away from the overall effect. Some fill flash or reflected light would strengthen the impact.

Not the type of image I usually respond to but you have an excellent capture here. The background, and expression all work together without being overly syrupy.

Lovely picture. On my monitor, there seems to be a strong green tint.
