Extremely nice shot! I have always enjoyed the smoothness of using a long exposure with rapidly falling water... and this is a perfect example of it. The whole shot shows thought, clarity, DOF and balance. Truly a wonderful shot! (8)

Silky Gaze
by djofi

Comment:
Nice shot of a very pretty lady. For me however... it is a little too washed out. A longer exposure would have given some contrast to her features and would have defined her "smooth and silky"ness. Sorry... had to drop it a point from what I would have given it. Good shot though!! (6)

The photographer

Wow... I love this photograph! It has a sorta Norman Rockwell feel to it.

If you ever decide to make prints of this available, please let me know. Or if you could send me the original (before resizing) print, I can pay you for that and then make my own print. I would like to take it out to 16x20 or larger.

This is an excellent photograph. You deserve to be proud!

Hoops In The Park At Dusk

Nice shot, but even though is at dusk, is still too dark for my taste. I know there are ways to manipulate the camera in order to bring an early nighttime effect to the shot without losing definition and clarity because of the darkness.

Otherwise.... great shot. Loved the angle from which you took the shot...wouldn't have had anywhere near the impact if you had been on level ground or even below the line of sight.

Great job! I would have given this an 8 but for the darkness I dropped it a point. This decision will haunt me...

Beautiful timing! And a great decision to go for the silhouette look. (9)

Some Men Can Fly
by hotpasta

Comment:
Please... let me know what sport this is after the voting is over. Looks like soccer...but they are trying to catch it with their HANDSS! I grew up in an era where soccer players were sissies. Oh if I only knew then what I know now.

The picture is a great one... and you are right...some men CAN actually fly! (8)

Seeing as a couple of people took umbrage to my calling soccer in the 50s and 60s a sissy sport... it was only my conception of the sport back then. I have since gained a LOT of respect for the sport and thus, my comment..."Oh if I only knew then what I know now." Sorry to all I upset. Was totally UNintened!

gap it

There is a bend to the photograph (seen especially in/around the door) and a somewhat fisheye effect that ruins it for me. Great timing on the capture... and the focus was good too.. although maybe a faster shutter speed could have frozen the 'gapper'... (4)

Waiting for my pitch

Outstanding capture, my friend!! I remember the feeling that emanates from this future slugger's eyes. Excitement! Worry! Determination!! Perfect!

Nice D-O-F, and I love the clarity of the player. (9)

If you were going for a blurry shot of an eye... you captured it! Myself, if you were going to take a picture of an eye I would at least have had it in focus.

Sorry... (2
