Boating and Biking is another interesting piece in the Best of 2005. I think this was an extremely tough challenge since there were 829 submission, and because of this a lot of piece did not get the attention they should.

I really like the overall composition of your shot,it is a subdued but warm shot. The subject and shot have a great sense of summer and all the pleasure and simplifies of being young. The yellow flowers give the shot extra attention, if they were not included I think viewers might over look it. I think I would try differnt cropping to see if it enhances the shot or takes too much of the subject away. I think the shapes give a great feel and even flow to the shot. Good work.

Great shot! The colors are very nice. I find the stage light a bit distracting.

This is great. I wish you could have gotten rid of the light underneath the horse's belly.

Nice touch having bright flowers in the basket of the bicycle. Might otherwise seem too drab.
