Excellent idea and execution my good man :) Love all 3 shots and would like to see the centre image as a standalone shot, excellent capture as he left the board but he'd only get a 9 from me as his hands are not perfectly symetrical ;)

Agreed, excellent conversion to B&W and a super candid moment :) As blue moon mentioned I too am not sure whats going on in the left side. My first thought was to lose the fence/gate thing but on reflection it adds to the candid moment :)

Nice spot :) No photographers comments or lens/settings details so its hard to know if the soft/oof effect is what you were after? Just a niggle but if the lady were half a step to her left and the subjects were seperated I think it would help the image. As has been mentioned definately lines that lead you through the image and nice composition :)

Love it! and the added glow finishes off an already fabulous shot. Your post processing is spot on as is the composition & exposure. My only niggle is the overlayed tutu? on her left arm and wonder if the image would be enhanced at all if it were removed.

busy or busty?

wheres the bra? wheres the bra? oh, there it is *snigger snigger*

Yup, certainly busy but thats what draws me into the image - sooo much to look at. Doubt its a dpc friendly image but thats the good thing about side challenges, they don't have to be ;)

Its sort of voyeuristic :)

Sounds like that was a very long day. Sorry one of your friends didn't finish but 100miles? thats some run.

ooh, very nice Sandy! I can see this as a poster size print hanging on someones wall. I love how you edited the shot and as has been said it has a painterly feel to it. My only (minor) niggle is that where the top left trees meet the sky it looks a little strange but that might be my eyes :(

*edited to add*

am not normally a fan of big wide borders but this one works very well with the picture :)

Love the lines of the shadows and trees, both composition and exposure are spot on. Personally I'd like to see a little more detail in the stump maybe by using fill-in flash? Amazing that this was shot around noon!

ooh, excellent post processing and would like to see what/how you edited the pepper in the Photographer Comments. My only thoughts for change would be a sharper tip of the pepper stem and maybe not have it so centered. Am sure this looks awesome printed big.

45th floor! hope you had your camera tied round your neck lol.

Nice spot and as has been mentioned a little more contrast to bring out the shadows might help this and I'd also like to see the same shot over time to see how it changes the image.

Love the composition and exposure here and love the graduation of the sky as it pushed you into the picture. Dark monitor here and I can't make out if thats a road or river? either way it works well.
