i kind of like this! nice crisp colors and whites, nice composition, nice looks on everyone's faces. (in mine, there always seems to be one person with an odd look...). i know it's not allowed in these rules, but it would be cool to take advantage of this great people pic and put them against a different background...one that serves as a more exciting foil for their music or diversity.

cool shot...makes my stomach a bit queasy just to think of people on this ride! : )
nice delayed exposure. nice colors. wish the sky could be a bit darker to really offset those vivid colors...but nicely done!

there are so many backs in this picture... i would love to see this taken from an underview angle, so that you can capture all the faces and the expectant energy.

the bottom left corner is reflecting quite a bit of light back at the viewer...to the point that the woman's nail tips start to blend into the background. this makes for an awkward viewing of this image. i would be interested in seeing how this image would look with more diffused lighting, and warmer light as well.

i wonder how this would have looked under different shutter speeds? one could really play up the night lighting that way...

...Happy Anniversary Keturah

really emotive photo. nice composition and use of shadow. the emotion coming from this for me, though, is more like mourning a loss (the shattered debris in the foreground, contrasted with the unbroken glass, and the position of the model). it's beautiful, but it feels sad to me.
