Thought I left more comments during the challenge. Sorry I missed this one. It was on of my favorites. I love the dynamic feel and energy it exudes. Gave you a 10. Adding it to my favorites.
Nice capture! Both strength and power represented here. If just something or someone was crisply in focus this would get my highest mark. Difficult lighting, perhapse that causes the bright, bright lights on the uniforms? Hope you can do it again with even better results than the first.
When a ribbon-deserving photo shows up, it's obvious. This is one. GREAT shot. I wish the two figures were better focused, but nonetheless, this is a top three finisher.
Shoot...the capture of the splatter, I'm guessing, water melon would have made this perfect for the motion blur challenge...for this challenge I would have preferred a bit more focus on the holder of the melon but I like it anyway.
This is very good. I don't k now what they are smashing, but it couldn't get any more smashed. Shame about so much blurring, but the movement is well
signalled.
Hope you had the camera covered! Cool shot. I think it would have been better if you could have nailed the focus more and not blown out the whites near the center. However, this had to be a hard shot to get and I think you did well, and certainly many times better than I probably could! I wonder how many times they had to do this.
This is an incredible shot. I might say I wish it were clearer, but the blur is to your advantage in many ways, adding to the action. Some people will be put off by the blur and rough quality to this image. I'm not one of them. Top score for the week for the best shot showcasing strength, and tied with one other photo.
Good capture, good action, the exploding watermelon looks good, wish it was just a tad sharper on the kicker and his expression, but may not have been possible.
Great capture! The composition is excellent. Unfortunately, the highlights are blown out, and the focus might have been better in at least some parts of the photo. It's a really great action shot though. I think an 8 or 9 from me.
My favorite in the entire submission. The black background is perfect. Shutter speed right on with just the right amount of motion. The facial expression of the kicker shows real determination. (10)
Great photo! Perfect timing for the shot! How many pictures before you got this one? They usually use a brick for showing the strength, but I guess it's a melon in this case, or?:-)
