The drama, composition, soft focus make this photo pleasing and visualy stimulating. Also like how your tree in sharper focus. It's different, draws me into the center before checking out the action around it.

Like your processing here. His eye just pops so much. The lines are great here and you did a great job with the lighting.

This is a fab action shot. I really like how he's suspended over the weeds (sorry forgot their actual name). It gives his height off the ground such balance and depth. A little grainy but it adds to the photo for me. Nice timing on this shot, can see why it's your gem. Oh...almost forgot the best part. His expression while in the air is wonderful. You captured one of those moments. Well done.

This is just a sexy macro! So dark but so light with amazing focus and detail. Having the solid pieces among the liquid is spot on and the texture of them is wonderful. What a gem! =) 9

Wow...are you kidding me? You're a lot braver than I! Looks like you're right there which is just fasinating. The croc or alligator looks wonderful. The textures are so pleasing and really glad you left the background open and didn't go with a tighter crop.

Blue Eyes

And blue they are! I think they punch more by having her against the blue background. Good focus on her face, a little over exposed but I can totally see why this would be your gem. Great shot for the challenge.

Old Truck in the Field

Perfect time of day to take this shot. The lighting is so soft and just adds so much to your capture. I like the crop here, glad you didn't push the truck more to the left which would open more on the right. It keeps it centered and keeps the viewer looking. The sun is a nice addition. My eye keeps bouncing back and forth from it to the truck. Your colors are great. Vivid and soft. The sky also looks amazing. 8

Freestyler

By Freestyler do you mean BBoying? Even without your title, her clothing/style would have said this to me. Maybe I'm missing your point, if so I apologise. On the photo itself...well done. Your focus, composition and subject are great. Love the dark shadows under her Kangol (?) on her eyes. This adds a bit of mytstery for me. The detail within her jacket and jeans are outstanding. The last but not least - her experssion while trying to get that shot is wonderful. She has enough space to breath and really can't find anything to fix or try different. 8

What a great capture. To me it looks as if you captured those moments that are so hard to find. Her hand over her eye as to show maybe she's wiping a tear away. Her experssion is so genuin. To finish, taking the shot through a fence (I'm guessing) is a nice touch. It isn't destracting for me and does nothing but add to the emotion. However, I do wish it was bigger. But none-the-less, this is one of those priceless moments, caught and captured. 7
