Oscar Peterson said "Reach for the moon and if you don't get there at least you will be among the stars". Love the theme but hated the unfocused index finger.

Hated the "out of focus" technique. Very spaniard amore emotional theme that grabs my ribs being a guitarist. Hated the photo. Loved the theme and especially the movement, angle coming towards the viewer yet the love is really directed to the instrument and music. Thanks.

Can you feel this!

Don't toutch or you'll be sorry is a great theme. Gloomy atmosphere and not a pretty picture unless I'm cranky. Too busy for me to find a focal point. Excellent focus. Love the light and dark contrast. Thanks for sharing.

Cartoonish light and shadow 16th Chapel copy an excellent change of pace. I wanted the lines to be less subtle. Despite my love for color I scored high for making my voting task more colorful in variety.

There's something in your nose

Breaking inhibitions is healthy and I believe we all need to toutch someones nostril at least once in our lifetime. Bright lighting, stong primairy colors, crisp image with great focus...love the nonverbal eye contact and toutch interaction between man and child. I gave it a 9 for this challenge but 7 as a stand alone photo. Not kwowing the individuals I find portraits often personal. To stare at them I need to vibrate "caramba that is art" and not feel like I'm disturbing someones special moment. Thanks.

Very physical "push and shove for milk" toutch theme that contrasts to the fluffy heart and soul approach to toutching. I love it. Like when I get a soft smack at the back of the head due to a bad joke there is comfort, confidence and love behind it all. Excellent focus on the subjects with good framing of trees and dead wood in forground.

I love it when children get that instinct urging them to toutch floating bubbles. The expression is breathless bursting the physical and emotional toutch challenge at both ends. Reflecting light on the bubbles is the second visual to grasp my attention. It helps that the direction the girl is looking at points the fingers and bubbles toutching. The few points removed are due to the weak image quality otherwise I would have scored a ten. Great photo.

Warm colors made me lose the essence of team sports and broke my rythm during the voting process.

Tug-o-War

Ain't no team sport like a tug-o-war. I only see the number two guy giving it all he has. Unfortunately facial grimacing doesn't get you extra points for pulling on the rope as does focus and muscles. It does however give this photographer a higher score. Great angle shot and love the dead tree background on the right.

In your face sports photo! That's what I'm talking about. I find that a sports photo has to get your gut feelings out otherwise I might as well be looking at flower macros. Homerun photo. Thanks.
