This is interesting, maybe even a bit overpowering. I think bokeh is so cool, and you've got it going on all OVER the place here. ;^) The subject that is ROT based may be lost because of this. Nonetheless, overall I like this very much. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Lovely. My top pick for this challenge. You did fine following the ROT's and I really like the color tone you've used here, as well as your subject choice, DOF, and even your title. ;^) Good luck in the challenge.

Flight

What a nutso kid, doing that without ANY protective gear whatsoever!!! As for the image, it's fine - not sure about the square crop. The lighting is a bit harsh and it's put his face in the shadows a little bit. Very good shutter speed selection to freeze the action. Good luck in the challenge.

Taking a second peek at a handful of images from the challenge... I didn't notice the people at the top! Without reading your comments I probably wouldn't have seem them - you're right, the cave IS huge. ;^)

Pretty decent score and finish - congrats!

Just One Year!

The concept is great as far as the message the youth group is trying to get out there. What I'm not following is what are you going to do with the image you've posted? Is this going to be a flyer to distribute or post around campus?

You mention photos of the youth band - is that what's going on in the background image? Looks like they're in a gym. Do you have any images that show people with the band, maybe even some religious symbolism (cross on the wall, etc...).

The image/card/flyer is slim on context IMO. The positive spin I can put on it is it looks like youth enjoying themselves overall, which is good.

Best of luck to you.

Romancing The Stone

Wasn't that an Indiana Jones movie? If there's another "Romancing The Stone" out there my apologies, but I think it's the first one that will come to mind for the majority of voters. Creative use of blur is nice here. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

If he was soaking wet I could buy it. I like the reflections in the water - that's kinda cool. The shoreline appears slanted, whether it is or not. Nice, creative idea - but really - he should be wet! ;^) Good luck.

Debbie Does Dallas
by Stagolee

Comment:
Wasn't that a pornography film?! Was Debbie a cheerleader? Is Dallas now in Australia? As a male voter I can appreciate the image in front of me, however, I think this is rather shoehorned into the challenge as a "sex sells" kind of shot.

Every Which Way but Loose, Clyde

Perfect image for this challenge. Instant recognition of what movie it's appropriate for. Very sharp (maybe over sharpened for some monitors) with good positioning of the subject. May have been able to boost the orange/red a little? All JMO of course. Best of luck to you in the challenge.
