The Game is Up

Lovely model and good concept for the challenge. The black triangle lower left edge distracts -- minimal doesn't allow cropping, so in-camera quick look at all the edges becomes important (a composition skill I frequently forget, which makes me more aware of it). Could use a bit more exposure to make the whites more glaring (befitting the dramatized setting). If in an auto exposure mode (where the camera tries to make majority of picture neutral grey), exposure compensation can do that (tweak based on preview or histogram, if the camera has these features).

Soothing colors, symmetry, and contrast. Well seen and well captured.

The blurred background tones go well with the colors of the insect. To my eye, cropping square to remove the right hand dark area could potentially strengthen the image.

Circles: wheels, heads, tire (?) in far background, loops of maybe barbed wire, headhponse
Contrasting lines: curb, fence, bike frame
Moment captured: wonderful expressions, sense of motion
Processing: black and white excellent choice and well executed
I was looking for this in the top ten or twenty, if for no other reason that the happy combination of artistic elements enhancing an instance of very good street photography

Well seen, good combination of abstract and realism. I really enjoy the color and textures. Sorry to see one of my 10 scores down at 164th place. Obviously I thouht it should be much higher.

So now you rule the roost with the highest score ever using a Canon EOS-7D, and you've nailed the 13th highest score so far on DPC's Browse Highest Rated page. Good for you: well-deserved.

Guava Flower

Comment:
I agree with the commenters about the proper score being in the mid six range or higher. Visually intersting to have a flower reduced to color gestures that convey the essence of the subject without distractions.

Unique pose, dramatic lighting, would be at home on a gallery or museum wall. Well done.

Golf Swing
by Sydney3

Comment:
Good catch of the golf club at the peak of action, although hard to be visually convincing that this was during an active swing rather than static pose. If this included a jump off the ground, it is even better, but the visual impression is of standing on the grass. If an actual leap, would need to shoot from low down to better show the gap between shoes and ground.
