You knew you were going to get these comments when you did this photo, but I don't think it meets the challenge.

The border because it is so close to the color in the picture, but yet cleaner, becomes stronger, thus detracting from the photo, a simple black would have been better

Painting the Corners

Unlike most people who didn't like the border, I happen to think that the border helps to accentuate the proportion. It may also be that it reminds me of a computer baseball game, and it is the target that I am supposed to get the ball into for a strike. Because of that it seems to me to 'add' an element into the photo, making the corner for the baseball to hit. BTW, it is painting a corner, singular not plural corners. Well, congrats on the ribbon.

Good capture, good action, the exploding watermelon looks good, wish it was just a tad sharper on the kicker and his expression, but may not have been possible.

I love this photo, the slight color in the man's face really sets it apart. What a great contrast between the power of the falls, and the transient lasting impact of a single person. I think this will definitely ribbon.

Definitely a ribbon winner, great model, great expression. My guess is Blue ribbon.

I wish the trees were a little sharper to make them really stand out against the sky.

I don't know why, but the red in the frame tends to be too strong of a color for the picture, drawing my eye away from the subject and onto the frame.
