Aaaah to be young at heart! :)
I dont think it matters but it bothers me a little that his head is not all in the picture. Other than that- I love this picture very much.

It took me a while to figure out what was going on here, but once I did, I really liked it. :)

I love this in b&w. Your detail is nice and your tonal range is good. i like the way this draws your eye at an angle.

Not sure what he's doing, but the contrast and framing are nice.

Probably would have been more challenge related had he actually nailed all the hoops, but I guess 3/4's a victory is better than sitting on the sidelines. Crop could use some work and this might not have been the best choice of a shot to go with BW on - lack of separation between a lot of the tones make it hard to distinguish what all is involved here.

How fun! This shot does a great job of telling a story of Triumph. Even more impressive is that I've never seen any game like this, before, so I was not predisposed to understand what was going on. The DOF & crop work well to tell the story. The subject and the B&W give this shot an older, nostalgic feel. The grinning woman in the background really helps this shot as well. Nicely done.

Ho funny is that. I like the concentration on his face. He looks like an experienced knight in the jousting event. Fits the challenge well and I like it. Focus seems a tad soft.

Looks like fun and great tones - I find the crop a little awkward and so too the woman in the back because she is highlighted which takes your eye away from the main subject.Still a nice quality to this.

One of those being 'BRASS" in color would have gotten 2 more points from me.... all in all a great shot! (7)
