Excellent lighting... many people seemed to struggle with their lighting setups in this challenge, but you aced it with no problem. This is so warm and inviting. 9

This is such a sweet photo. It looks like you did some selective blurring, so I'll be back to see how you accompllished this after the challenge. Don't get me wrong, I love the blurring. It really enhances the photo by bringing you attention straight to the chlilds face and to the guitar. 9

I LOVE the warm tones in this photo, they just make the shot. I wish the drummer had been doing something other than looking away from the camera, but to me, it doesn't take away from the shot enough to deduct any points. My second of 2 tens in this challenge.

One of my 2 10's in this challenge. This is so much more visually pleasing than the still-life shots of violins that I've been sifting through. Excellent job!

You did a nice job with the composition of this photo, but the border doesn't do a thing for the shot... just my humble opinion!

This is an interesting collection, but in my opinon, there is just too much going on, too many lines going in every which direction. The slant on the wooden instrument on the right side of the pic makes it look a little sloppy. I like your effort, though, and your take on the challenge. It was really more interesting than a lot of the shots in this challenge. :)

Rhythm

the horizontal positioning of the drumstick (which i do believe is proper for drumming) makes this image look sort of static, like the stick is at rest and not in motion. a slight angle could have brough more movement in. i also would think that cropping out some more of the drum itself would have drawn more attention to ste stick and splash. as it is, your eye just kind of drifts toward the white. the focus is really good, and i like that you chose a natural background (instead of a black sheet, for instance). makes me think this drummer's marching on the football field. :) oh, and the point of view is nice, here, too.

I think this is really nice! The punch of color in an otherwise high-key photo is beautiful. The composition is also perfect! Good job!

Wow. This is more like a sculpture than something in nature, which makes this shot perfect for the challenge. I like how crisp it looks. Good job. 9

What a beautiful tree... certainly something you don't see everyday in nature. :) Bumping you to an 8. :)
