Great colours. Unfortunately, I don't feel that drawn into this image. It is obviously well composed, but doens't feel very compelling. I know this was a very difficult challenge to execute. I really liek that you took the time to light your subject effectively - 6

The Balancing Act

Fantastic shot and finally someone who is able to capture rich and saturated colours. Like the square image. Good composition.

Really great shot. My only suggestion woudl be to increase the use of negative space slightly - maybe to the top. Also, it seems very grainy. The lighting is supurb and works well in black and white. Good luck -7

Love this one. Love the composition, the angle, that my eye is drawn in and can move around. Good use of colour and saturation> may have been that much better if shot in very early morning or late evening - but not necessary. 8

Really good idea for this challenge. In teh future you may want to icnrease the actual size of your photo because people in DPC tend to vote lower on small images. Try to use up the maximum 640 x480 - as much as possible. I think the sunlight in this one is a tiny bit too harsh and may have been a bit better in the early morning or late evening - the composition of the hands is good, but the pantleg with no shoe is maybe not necessary - try thinking about your use of negative space. GOod luck!

I'm wondering if it woud have been that much better if you shot it with the pole of the cage a bit to the left or the right. However, good idea for this challenge. 6

This is my favorite of the baseball shots. Great idea, really wonderful angle. Finally-- someone who thought about negative space, composition, saturation, etc. 10

Really like this one. The reflection/harsh light is a tiny bit distracting, but love the rich colours otherwise. Good luck!

This one falls a bit flat to me. I'm wondering if it's that it lacks rich colours. The clouds in behind seem an unreal colour/shade, but maybe accurate. I don't know if maybe you'r using a software program that desaturates your colours too much. I can tel there's a bit of JPEG comrpession in this photo. I'm wondering if it would be that much better if you shot something with richer colours.

Good idea for this challenge. There is a bit of a moire (repeating patterns or something distracting) in the shadow. I'm not sure how you'd correct it. In this case, I like that you used really harsh sunlight to make an effective composition with the shadows. Too bad you can't spot edit to make the shadow a little different. But great idea- my comments are minor - and I'm giving it a 9.
