I'm guessing this is a boxer. Isn't it? Very creative.

Comment by Ivo:
It appears you like stopped motion. This shot is blown out by the overpowering white and the light glare in the foreground.

Comment by Ivo:
This shot is far better than the olives. The details of the Kiwis are great but again, the yellow item in the front is distracting.

Cool concept and you must have had some fun setting this up. Your DOF is off resulting in a focus dilemma. Colors are good but I would have focused more on the two left olives because of the far right olive is too distracting because of the poor focus.

Hi, Frank - saw your forum comments, so took a "ride" over to your portfolio. I looked at all of them, but would like to comment on 3 of them in particular. They are Splat, the Silver Garbed Ones (either rock stars or ice skaters is my guess), and the Kiwi Kitchen Table.

Each one of them has a special quality that drew me to them. The water-spout effects on the kiwi''s and the splash of the egg-splat were riveting. The Silver outfits reminded me of one of the Olympic Opening Ceremonies (when in Europe - the ultra sheek types.)

But on each of them, there is a blur or indistinctness somewhere in the subject area. I'm not technical, and cannot offer any concrete advice. Others may have found themselves in the odd position of liking your work a lot, but not wanting to be discouraging.

I will take that risk, because I think you have the potential for taking some spectacularly high-impact photos. But, that (whatever it is) thing that bothers me in these pix may be troubling others too.

Frank, I think you could easily become a very successful and sought-after photographer. Swallow any pride that might be an obstacle and take a class, humble yourself before harsh professional critics, and talk to everyone you know. But, find out what that one little change is that your pix need; fix that; and hang out your shingle.

Rex, funny you said that, if you look at the print available I did just that. I should probably update this picture with my print one. Thanks
:edit: I tried to replace the file with the new picture and it won't work, so if anyones interested in the other one click Print Available.
:edit again: they accepted it.

I like this. Only thing I see you could improve on is the two white fuzzy things one on the rocks and one on the horizon in the water. Clone those two out and I think you have a perfect photo.
