Nice subtle light, great blue but it has mede the leaf below it a bit of an odd green. Good Luck

Nice shot, although doesnt quite scream candid at me. Excellent expression on the subject

I gave this an 8 - faces and looks are priceless and it very much meets the challenge for me. Great comp, too - forms a good strong diagonal - and very good light.

Nice sweet capture but probably has more of a personal appeal than public.

Well I will be honest and say I thought that this image whilst good was not great (please understand I thought it was good though --- I gave it 6)

However the poigniancy of the story is incredible and knowing what I do now about the image really adds to it

I guess true faith is recognising that such things occur is down to failings in man rather than God

Cant believe that this one did not score and finish higher even in a free study challenge

The main splash is wonderful and the focus works wonderfully with the bokeh. the railing is a great addition as well as it draws you into and then through the wave splash

B&W was also the perfect choice as it means you have no distractions to the moment of impact that you have captured so well
