Great shot! She looks so free and elegant. I agree with everyone else about the DOF. What lens was this taken with? Ideally, you'd stand a long way away, use your long lens at 300mm, on aperture priority at the widest aperture available, then maybe use your lowest ISO, and some ND filters to allow the longer shutter speed to keep the blur on the cloth.
Although it's pretty good as it is, and a bit of editing can blur the bg. |

| This is fun. Love the movement. Wish it was a nicer day out, the mood the sky is the opposite (to me) of the mood of the photo. I'd like to see the background more blurry too, this photo is so much about this fun girl and I think the background (esp being able to see all the houses) distracts from that (woops this has been said, but I concur nonetheless). |

| You always do a good job representing the sense of free-spiritedness in your photos. I love the white outfit against the blue toned background. This images portrays a great sense of fun! |

| Very nice capture. You have captured the movement well. The image itself is quite graceful and flowing as is the subject that you've captured. |

Wonderful. Love the carefree aspect of this. I try to photograph my daughter in pretty much the same way. Images like this are the ones we keep coming back to year after year. Great moments captured as opposed to cutesy posed snapshots.
With the shot of my daughter I used for the DPL Album challenge, I carefully selected the background, copied to a new layer, added lens blur, then used the gradient tool to mask the bottom half. This, in effect, created a wonderful depth of field as well as nicely obscuring the background detail. Try it out and see what happens! |

| What windows????? Seriously the distant shoreline does cut your model in half. And the face. I want to see her face. Surely you made machinegun shots of this action. None showed her face? I do love the action though. Nice. |

| this is fun and pretty and exciting. hair covering her face is a way of showing that she doesn't care what anyone thinks, that she is unaware of being observed (observers just love that!). my only qualm is the houses in the background are kinda ugly. maybe you can smudge away their windows and details. You have to find a better background for this girl! |
