Fantastic shot, one of my favourites from the challenge. Good job freezing the action and I love the vibrant yellow back ground. A very profesional looking job. 9

Great job in stopping the action. I like the background color but think image would have been better with more even lighting all around so that the right half of the image was better lit and if the girl wasn't wearing a print blouse, which I think is too busy.

There's definately movement, and I love the background. But I'm a little confused as to why there are roses flying around her head. They seem pointless there to me. I think I would personally prefer there to be no roses. There is great movement in this shot without them, and they dont really add anything to it. My only other complaint would be the dark side of her face. Wish there was a bit more lighting there. Otherwise, focus and clarity are great. And the angle and placement of the subject are great as well. ~Heather~

One of my two 10s for the challenge -- this is just super! Simple, yet full of fun, energy and color. Way to go! I can't imagine this not earning a ribbon.

Beautful portrait overall. I absolutely dig that yellow. The expression is perfect. the only minor comment would be to somehow make sure that the right arm, which is a focal point of the shot,is sharper or more focused. But that is nitpicking. great shot.

Very creative. I like the way the background re-enforces the foreground.

Good clarity.
Could almost see this being used by a supermarket for advertising.
