Giving it Everything

Excellent composition (position within frame, angle of arm and of mike stand, tilt of head, crop).
I don't always like borders that don't border the entire image but it enhances rather than detracts in this case. Motion being limited to only his arm and a little on his head works well.

Overall image much too dark for my tastes but I like the converging lines and the romantic nature of the content.

I like the way the posts frame the seats and chains.

The Fresh Highland Spring

I like the low viewpoint and the inclusion of those rocks just below the surface makes the foreground really intriguing. Given the bland white colour of the sky I'd consider cropping more tightly at the top to exclude it but I may be in a minority as many can't appreciate landscapes without sky in them.

Very "romantic" (in the platonic not sexual way) and the framing of the trees is beautiful.

Cool - and the colours are zingy - has a surreal abstract feel to it.

No distracting elements in the background, nice composition, nice angle, good determined expression on skier. But somehow lacks punch for me. Sorry!

Fountain of Youth

Absolutely superb, I think this is my favourite in this challenge! It's reminiscent (to me) of Audrey Hepburn and more recently of Audrey Tautou in Amelie. So altogether a bit of an Audrey moment for me! Composition is just so beautiful - the exact angle of her face, the position of her ear next to the corner of the frame (and how far in from that it is), the way her hair almost disappears into the background making an intriguing abstract shape of her face, the way the water angles to the opposite corner...). You've also succeeded in capturing a wonderful expression of fun in your model's features as she squirts away! Just beautiful!

Breaking The Bank

Very nicely done - is this an actual explosion/ breaking or a very carefully set up studio shot? I'm not suggesting one is "better" or preferable to the other - the end result is what counts to me - but I am curious!

One reason this shot works so well is the superb capture of expressions. I also like the "shape" of the group players taken as a whole. The two raised players are so well captured mid-motion that there is a real element of wanting to look closely to understand what is happening. Well cropped to provide enough backrgound and to create a good composition. I really like this. And I don't even like sport!!!
