Perfect sports capture. The batter should have a print of this as a framed keepsake forever!

Great potential but a touch too dark, I think. That fence is great and the rough vegetation looks like it has sooo much texture. I feel like you could have improved the comp by getting even close to the fence and getting more detail out of the shadows.

Just gorgeous. Could be a top ten in this challenge (though I'm far from done voting yet). Great definition on the face and eyes and the sprig of grass in the foreground is a nice touch. Great job!

Has a "sherpet-feel" to it. Great depth and vibrant colors. There's also a texture that seems to pop off the screen. Great shot!

I'm guessing this is from the Chicago GTG. ;-) While I like the BW conversation and the composition with the shiny path-wall in the foreground (with great lines receding into the distance), the skyscrapers have an odd distortion to them, as though they're warping to the left. It gives the image a surreal sense of falling over.

Wonderful variation on a well-tested theme. Your depth is perfect for the shot. There's that magical feeling of spheres floating in space. Well done!

Awesome storm shot. The clouds have mammatus appearance, and it appears that you used a longish exposure and captured some movement. I'm glad you captured some horizon because it's absolutely essential to add some perspective to any sky shot for a sense of scale. However, I don't think the photo has enough Wow Factor to really drive the score up. Still, good eye for storms. I hope you were safe!

The simplicity appeals to me very much, but I think the light really makes this shot. Very subtle back lighting adds a beautiful highlight and no detail is lost in the shadows. Very attractive shot!

Is that an ETX? Is that a cow? I like your idea here but I think you would have done better with a long exposure rather than a flash. He is so illuminated that it looks contrived rather than evoking the wonder of skywatching.

Go Milwaukee! Seen this guy before. Great title and choice of crop. I think he was a bit pissed off that day!
