This is great. I love that the fence is just so massive compared to the kids. Great capture.

Swinging from the Heights

I scored this a 5. I could have sworn you used a flash and did it well, but I now see otherwise. You have good color and detail on the critter. Did you have a tripod or just handheld? At that speed you did real well with keeping him in focus if handheld. Him being just so slightly off center is a bit off - not sure how to crop it other than dead center. I think you may have gotten lower votes because of the angle you took the pic. Seems more strraight on rather than from ground up.

Caught and Released Manaray

Good stop motion on the water but the rest of the shot just is kind of lacking. Nothing to really focus on in large detail. I gave a 6 because of the water. I think the foot gone would be a possible dq.

Transportation on the Crest of a Wave

The severe crop does give it a painting type effect but it feels pixelated (of course). I am not sure if film grain or the grain effect is legal in basic but maybe adding a bit of that would soften the pixelated look and enhance the painting type feel. Could be a good coverup tool. I think the one votes were unnecessary.

Another nice shot Deb. Good idea for the challenge - somethign a bit different without being crazy out of the box. Good detail, colors and layout. Just a very clean shot. If it had been advanced editing a little bit of burning on the car to bring out the shadow type lines would have made it pop out a bit more I think. A shame not more people had their hands in the air.

How high?

This is a nice shot. While it seems a bit grainy or something the positions and expressions of the "models" make up for it. At first I was thinking that it may have been better if you had caught the dolphin higher in the air but I realize that it would have put him crossing over the lady behind. THeir positions really work the way they are. I am not really sure but maybe a lower ISO would have helped with the initial sharpness.

For being very new you really have some good shots in your portfolio. This is a great pic. Probably my only complaint is that it seems just a tad bit soft around the eye. Very nice work though. Enter more challenges!

Trout Stream

Nice shot. The greens may be a bit oversaturated - but just a bit and I kind of like it that way. The perspective that he shot was taken is good - it looks like you got nice and low and close to the stream instead of standing up.
