It bothers me that the ball is just barely in the photo... I'm wondering if you cropped it this way on purpose or whether thats just how the shot was. I think you could have taken a lot more shots to get that better. I wish the club were already coming down rather than just up on his shoulder, giving the viewer more of a clue about what was going to happen. I think you might have been able to fix a little of the white sky by using a polzarizing filter, but I'm not sure.

I like this, it's cute... Love that van behind the girl also :-) It looks to me like you tried to sharpen this photo WAY too much? Is that why it looks kind of jagged around all the edges, or it could have happened during compression. I think I would have liked a faster shutter speed on this one to get stop action on the hand and ball, you might have achieved this by speeding up the iso, or since it's outdoors and you didn't have to worry about using a flash, one of those might have helped. I like the reflections also in the van.

Very Cool subject. I would have made this more of a vertical photo, and cropped out some of the extraneous blue on the left, right and tops of the photos. This also would have helped with composition which is rather bland here with the subject almost directly in the middle. I like your cach here a lot! I'm wondering whether you used a polarizing filter or not... that is one VERY blue sky!

Bull's-eye

There's lots of noise in this photo... which isn't altogether bad, but I'm guessing you had a pretty high ISO? Nice movement in the dart... too bad it's not exactly a bulls-eye (or is it?) hard to tell. The line at the top, which I'm guessing is part of the wall is rather distracting... I think you could have achieved the same photo by cropping out some of the top, at the same time not putting the main subject directly center for a better rule of thirds look.

I wish you could see this a little closer, but I realize there were probably zoom limitations. I think I would have liked a little more action as well, maybe some water coming off the oar, or more of a pathway where the boat had been... it looks to be moving rather slowly. Good subject though...

Youth Soccer... best when soggy

This is cute, nice DOF with getting the umbrella in focus as well as the players. I like how you frame the game with the umbrella. I would have liked to have seen your shutter speed just a bit higher maybe, because the main boy doesn't look to be in focus, but I'm guessing he's just blurry. I think you could have cropped out the two playerss on the left and still had the same effect. Tighter is often better in sports shots.

This is very well done, I love the sense of action and the two people in the background. I also absolutely love the shadow from the bike! Great composition here, overall just extremely well done. I'm going to go ahead and give you the -10- I think you deserve :-)

Go karts!!!

Comment:
Very fun! I love go karts... I wish there was another racer near this one, as I think it would have given more of a sense of action then just riding around the track on a cart. I think it would have been cool to have two in the photo. I think I would have cropped out at least some of the right side of the photo as well as some of the bottom. Also wish I could have seen some reaction on the kids face, but it probably wasn't possible.

Interesting choice of subjects, I would never have thought of this as a sport, but definitely it can be taken as one. Did you use a flash here? it looks extremely harsh on her face and hair. The positioning she is in bothers me, and doesn't really make for a very interesting photo IMHO. There is a tiny bit of action with her putting the mouthpiece in her mouth, but not really anything else.

Bowie vs Westwood: 1st down Bowie!

I like the blur that shows where the action is. I feel as though the actual action is kind of weird though, for one, I don't see anyone taking the guy down (maybe he is tripping, but I don't know...) also the way that his body is positioned, I can't tell but it looks like he doesn't have a left arm? I'm not keen on your cropping, although I don't know how I would have done it differently, the guy on the right is exxtremely distracting (the one headed out of the photo) Good job getting the ball in the photo, but there is just something that doesn't look right to me here...
