Way cool ! Great idea. The look on her face is just right. Love the spinning world out there. Good technically. Looks like fill flash? Probably a good idea with the ever changing lighting during the spin. Just my honest opinion. Thanks

This is superb. One suggestion--have you considered a crop at the top--perhaps as extreme as to cut out your hand holding hers? I just cropped it by scrolling off the window, and I think it looks even better (and its wonderful to begin with). Into my favs.

Looks fun! Nice action shot, and great clarity on the girl. 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/23/2005 10:14:24 PM
great effect but the arms seem a bit unnaturally stretched. This could've worked for almost any challenge...I.E. perspective, long exposure,etc.

Awesome pic!

Fantastic. Great action and expresion on her face. Good focus in a difficult situation.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

My initial reaciont - I smiled. Makes me think she is hanging onto the camera somehow. Creatively done. Good luck in the challenge.

Great effect
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/20/2005 09:27:04 AM
Wow. First impression - I want to vomit. Sorry - weak stomach. Centered composition works here. Her arms seem unnaturally elongated. Lighting good. Must have been a blast editing this. ;) Love the shadow of her legs - adds depth. 7

Nice and sharp where the sharpness should be. Great camera technique and works really well for this image. Great expression on the face and the catchlights are wonderful.

this has some weird/cool distortions, the arms seem long or stretched and the leg shadows are cool.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
