| I dont know if you still get the comments since this shot has been posted well before I started coming to this site, but this is an incredible photograph. I have been a track and field fan for a long time. You do a great job of capturing it. I hope to see more! |

You don´t need to excuse yourself CSB, everybody has a right to express there opinion.
I used gradient tool to get right colors under the photo. I honestly don´t think that i have broken any rules by doing that. I don´t see gradient tool underlay as an artwork, i see Mona Lisa as an artwork :)
If this border bugs people then i hope that after this challenge site council will make some clear rules what is legal when you create border. The rules today are little bit extensive.
One is for sure, i will NEVER use border again :)

"Borders: Your submission may include a border, but the border may not contain any text, clip art, photographs, or other artwork."
Your border appears to have a gradient fill ... do you believe that a gradient is NOT to be considered 'artwork'?
Again, please forgive me if I'm wrong here... simply provoking thought on rule interpretation, because obviously my definitions and understanding don't appear to be the same as others.

I don´t see that my border is anything of above. The photo is inside the white line, the rest is just border.

Thank you all for great comments and support.
I just missed Thorey little bit out of the frame (on the top) when i took this picture, that´s way i used so tight crop. I really don´t see that as a problem, as a matter of fact i thought it was very cool. That´s why i used this one but not some other picture from that day.
I thought it was a good idea at the time to use border. To day i don´t think it was such a good idea after all but there is nothing i can do about it now, right?
Again, thanks alot!! |

| Your headline could be better but the picture is great. "New Record High Jump at Local Meet" or "Sally Smith Triumphs in Olympic Trials" or something like that. I still rated this one of my top picks. |

|
|
|
06/29/2004 05:53:59 AM |
| Great shot! I think the border being the same colour as the sky is a bit off-putting as it looks like the pole disappears, but still a 10 score. |
|
|
|
06/28/2004 10:56:20 PM |
| Totally beautiful shot. I love the feel of action. This is really really great. My only nitpick is that I've never seen a newspaper include a frame like that, but it is very effective. |

| Border is unneccessary, in fact, distracting, by cropping too much. The image speaks for itself. |
|
|
|
06/27/2004 11:21:16 PM |
| Fantastic, creative, wonderful, Best of Show picture. I give you a 10+ I like the POV. I can't offer much to improve this shot, which should take the blue ribbon. Congrats! |

| The frame is NOT newspaper-worthy. Ruined the best sports shot of the competition, imo. EXCELLENT photo! Frame SUCKS. 6. should be higher |

| Great action shot, great headline, but I suspect that I wont be the only one to mention that it is cropped to tight. Also the center of the image is quite dark, nice focus, and color though. Good work. |
|
|
|
06/26/2004 01:05:52 PM |
| Thank you for not letting the border overlap the picture, where, say the foot would be on the other side of the border. Amazing shot. |

| Awesome capture! Great exposure, perspective, shutter speed, and DoF. I personally think the border detracts and would bet most newspapers would not publish it with a border. Having said that - you should finish up in the stratosphere with this one. |

| I think the moment you have captured is rarely seen. It's unusual and it works well. It does look like she already knows she has won. Well done. |

| You got yourself a fantastic position for this shot! Excellent action shot, captured at exactly the right instant with her hand still on the pole and half over the bar. I like the way you have slightly blurred out the body as you look down towards the feet, impressive effect. The head, hands and upper body are sharp and clear. Maybe the crop is a touch too tight, but other than that, nothing I can complain about! |

|
|
|
06/24/2004 10:54:02 AM |
| Cool! Great capture, great colors. I probably would have let the pole extend beyond the border, gives even more depth to it (not sure if that's legal in an open challenge though). 8 |

| I have to question the border, but the stopped motion is excellent. I also, like the DOF with her feet slightly blurry...keeps my eyes in the area of the bar and her face. |

| Very nice sports shot, good camera work. I like the tight crop. The framing is very elegantly done, matching the blue sky and cutting of things out of the frame (works very nicely with the tight crop. Good job! |

| Outstanding capture. Definitely can imagine this in the sports section! Suggested improvements: a little fill flash to get some light into the shadows on her face. Ditch the border that crops the image, at least for this challenge. |
|
|
|
06/23/2004 06:55:33 AM |
| I'm not even a fourth of the way through the pictures and I can already tell that this is a serious ribbon contender. I'd be tempted to extend the poles and shoe out into the frame, but I have nothing but praise for this photo. Really excellent shot! |
