A very creative look at colored pencils - the image meets the subject matter dead on with subtle, yet detailed effect. A terrific demonstration of the creative process in meeting the challenge the use of grayscale and color is outstanding. Should be a sure bet to win a ribbon or place high as a top twenty image. A couple of minor detail problems not worth mentioning because they don't appear until you really get a critical eye and examine the image closely. Well done.

Lovely editing, the lighting on the hand is a bit harsh.

I think I would have liked this better if it was zoomed a bit more on the actual person.

Wow, what a cool sport and a cool shot. I love the narrowness of the frame.

Another great choice for a motivational poster. The image is a little too long and could be cropped at the bottom without affecting the overall impact on the subject and that type of crop would present the subject more favorably and concentrate the viewer on the subject's efforts to get to that position. A solid effort.

When I first looked at this image I didn't see the guy right away. With that said I think you should have subtracted a lot of the rock from the image and got it to look more like a stock photo. I just don't see someone adding this much rock to a website or some other advertising item.

If I were to vote on this I would probably give it a 4. If you had less rock in the image I would probably give it a 6 or 7.

Sweet Iris abstract. This is a difficult flower to photograph, if you shoot the whole thing. I love the way you created an interesting abstract with just a portion, and with limited depth of field. The yellow bokeh background complements the Iris well. 9 from me...
