VEry interesting and original choice of subject and interesting use of light and space. Nice colours and the border suits the subject well.

Good action and colour. The 1/2 man intruding into the frame at the top left is a bit distracting.

Checkmate!!!!

Chess really does seem to be a sport in this shot--complete with gatorade and a towel! There seems to be a bit of a colour cast in the photo and it would be nice if the image were a bit sharper, but I love the concept of this shot and the pose and expression of the "chess athlete"! Small point: there's a bit too much negative space over the player's head for my tast, but that's just me.

A very interesting chess shot. I like the motion blur on the pawn in the middle of the row of pawns. I personally don't see chess as a sport, but I like this shot. Nice sepia tones and interesting concept.

Motorcycle Racer

This is quite a daring shot. We don't often see a shot of a motorcycle racer with only a leg of the cyclist showing and with the cycle boxed into a very tight space. The box is a little too tight for my taste, but I find the image quite effective in its own way.

Very nice sports action shot. Good colour. I think that the centring works quite well here.

Nice composition and definitely a sports subject. Good straight horizon, too. I think I'd like the image to be a bit sharper and less hazy, but I guess that the weather was responsible for the haze, and there's not too much we can do about the weather.
