You have motion blur which the challenge description specifically addresses. I know, little boys are rarely stil! Sweet shot but not for this challenge.
Lensbaby! Hooray! They are fun to play with aren't they? ;^) I like your image, it's an image that will fit well in the family album as well. The problem here is going to be a couple of things; 1) You're not really stopping any motion, therefore you haven't been challenged to control shutter speed like others have. Voters are going to give you a hit there. 2) Lensbaby lens in general creates many "it's blurry" comments... ;^)
Again, nice capture - it's really a keeper. Just probably in the wrong challenge. Good luck.
ok, you have a whole week for the challenge. it's obvious you have the equipment. i just don't understand why you would throw this into the challenge. it's a nice idea, but really the wrong place for it. if you want better scores, maybe check out this thread.
