Emily L. Ferguson - Nautor Swan 45 in Narragansett Bay Great action shot although as others mentioned there are some nits ... like crop too close to right hand side and looks like on of the girls is about to throw up. Interesting that they seem so close to shore. With the keel this sailboat must have that is somewhat precarious, no? This is one time that a look from behind seems to work. Bob Talbot- Outhouse Very pleasing in spite of large expanse of sky on the right. First time I have seen a two story outhouse. Jim Davis - Surf Casting Lesson Hmmmm .... I see the aprehesnion in the kid's face and the enthusiasm in the dad's face. The black object punching him in the groin is a visual detractor for me. Howard Leigh - Exhausted Cool but scary and uncomfortable to look at. But well executed in my opinion. Jim Snarski - Fledgling Nice photograph of a fleeting time in the bird's and our lives. Somehow the bird is lacking a bit of "character" - I am not sure how to achieve that myself or what to recommend. Christopher Strevens - Beggar Girl I basically like this as a composition of colors and textures. The effect near her face is not too great - maybe it would have been better if we could still see her - I understand you were trying to hide her identity. The flute might be better sharp right to her lips. cheerio, andy
