 When I saw this challenge, I had no question on what to do it on! My daughter is a yo-yo pro and is on one of the manufacturer's teams. Ths was tough getting the exposure right with the sky background without a fill flash, which would freeze the spin. I used a large reflector real close and wide angle lens.

I like how this photograph was set up. However, it doesnt really hold my interest all that much.

Effort spent is appreciated, but the whole thing is just average.

I love the contrast in all shades of blues from the yo-yos to the t-shirt. Wonderful demo of "spinning"

Good photo. I think a little more depth of field would improve this image.

The spinning yo-yo in front draws my eye but it is out of focus... maybe a little more DOF to get the front yo-yo and the face in focus would make this even better?... nice shot.

I like this. Good composition, great colors.
I'd like it more if the DoF were deeper and her forward hand was tack sharp.
