Trying to improve on Langdon's shot, are we? At least your choice of billiards is correct...forget the 8-ball stuff. :-P

A good animals in action shot which probably suffered coming straight after that theme. To be perfectly honest, I didn't even notice the duck in the others wake... perhaps a different title may have directed to viewer to that detail which may have helped to keep the viewer engaged in the image a moment or two longer. I like the border and think it helps this image.

Very good action indeed - that back fellow looks like he's getting swamped in the wake of the front one!

Ah was wondering when the pool table shot was goin to come up, i thought i'd see at least 20 of those. Nice work. Although that blurr on the left side is somewhat distracting.

What I like most of digital photography is the brilliant colours that can be achieved. Like this picture. The rest is also great but I love the colours. Good shot

I loved the color in this - so bright and vibrant! Is that an area normally covered by water?

This is one of those ideas that could have gone horribly wrong or perfectly right. In this case, it's kind of a combination of the two in that the static balls are distracting while at the same time the cue ball is perfectly captured in motion and the highlight present on the other balls which is a negative is a positive on the cue ball enhancing the sense of movement and speed. The one issue that immediately jumped out at this viewer is the cue stick - the double exposure effect just doens't work - it would have been better if it had more linear motion similar to the cue ball. While a different image, a possible solution to controlling all the positive and negative aspects of this image would be to remove the other balls (except the one in the corner) from the table and do the shot excluding the cue stick. In that way, the depth and dimension of the table would have been intact, the sense of power and motion expressed by the cue ball would have been enhanced and overall the entire effect would have been very positive. A very good idea that just falls short of being excellant. All that being said, it's a great idea and should be recognized as such. Well done.
