Nice shallow DOF to isolate your subject, I also like that the subject seems unaware that she is being photographed. Well done

I like this image, and the girl in front, is the main person in this image.....

I love this shot. These people have been transformed into an abstract shape, which itself reflects on the nature of gymnastics. 9.

Meets challenge well, the focus on the first gymnast is very clear. Not a great fan of the composition, however, the rest of the image seems distracting.

A lower angle shot here would have done this much better, though I know we can't always get in just the right place when we want. A slightly different crop here may have worked a little better, as the feet sticking in the shot on the right are distracting, though I know you wanted to get all of her feet in the shot. Play around a bit with it and see if cropping it just to the right of her shoulder works any better. (6)

I appreciate the purity (i.e. avoiding artificial DOF enhancement), but this one could have benefited from the gradual blurring. Still a good take on the challenge.

I don't think that the DOF is thin enough for the girl in the front to be singled out. The composition is a bit lacking: the legs in the right side of the shot clearly should not be there.

This is a great shot, she looks so uninterested in what she is doing! The colors are great and so is the exposure and focus. I will say that the boys feet are distracting, therefore it might look better with a different crop.

Yup, that worked:) It would have been even more affective if the second or third girl had been your subject. You had the DOF nailed to do it.

nice shot...feet on right are a little distracting and there needs to be some colour correction from the venue lights, but a nice shot
