Hey, you should have shouted to the umpire to straighten the wickets. Good anyway though.

Ooooh. ..I LOVE IT! It's so ethereally emerald green. I like the concept of doing a color portrait like this too. Kind of an environmental portrait.

I don't really call this as much of a portrait as a candid shot. I wish he were standing there in his uniform and knew he was getting his portrait taken.

Oh my goodness I LOVE THIS! I didn't vote in this challenge so I'm just now seeing this and it brings a wide grin to my face. Absolutely adorable!! Outstanding idea and the motion blur is perfect. Many is the hour that I've watched my little ones jump and flip and fly on our bed! Yeah - we let 'em jump but we do act all agast when we are at friends houses and our kids go to jump on their furniture! "Why wherever would they get that idea? It's simply not done!". You've got a fantastic emotive shot here and I must add it to my favorites. Beautifully done!

Love the post-modern look here. Bumping from 7 to 8. The textures are great with the grain.

I would love this is the only "grain" were on the tv(?) screen (speaker?). but then you would have gotten a bunch of dnmc's. but it would have been awesome! heck, I'll give you a 7 anyway.
