Not sure what he's doing, but the contrast and framing are nice.

Probably would have been more challenge related had he actually nailed all the hoops, but I guess 3/4's a victory is better than sitting on the sidelines. Crop could use some work and this might not have been the best choice of a shot to go with BW on - lack of separation between a lot of the tones make it hard to distinguish what all is involved here.

How fun! This shot does a great job of telling a story of Triumph. Even more impressive is that I've never seen any game like this, before, so I was not predisposed to understand what was going on. The DOF & crop work well to tell the story. The subject and the B&W give this shot an older, nostalgic feel. The grinning woman in the background really helps this shot as well. Nicely done.

Ho funny is that. I like the concentration on his face. He looks like an experienced knight in the jousting event. Fits the challenge well and I like it. Focus seems a tad soft.

Looks like fun and great tones - I find the crop a little awkward and so too the woman in the back because she is highlighted which takes your eye away from the main subject.Still a nice quality to this.
