Interesting angle taken. I feel dizzy already. Usually you see the people swinging toward the viewer, but you went the other route and made it look like the viewer is on the ride.

Composition is nice with the selective desat of the yellow. Makes you want to race up around the curve on a motorcycle or sportscar. Simply a drifters' dream image.

The darkness of the black frame makes the image itself seem like it need a bit more contrast. A slight darking of the contrast in levels would make the image and the frame blend together nicely.

The lines of the street leads the eyes toward the center of the image. The lineup of trees also bring the viewers eyes to this point. This causes the viewer to focus at that area where the road ends. Putting your main subject here would make it a good composition.

Sorry, only gave you a 10. I thought this was going to be a ribbon winner.

Seems like most slick, sharp (no pun intended) images get higher scores. Interesting that the knifes shadow seems to make the eyebrow longer and the face more menacing.

I can see the concept improved with more sharpness and see it as a movie type poster.

Beautiful night colors makes this compositon very interesting. The rails on the walkway leads ones eyes toward the main subject. Very nice.

Hazy day

It would be interesting to see a black and white version of the scene. The scene itself and the composition is interesting but the dull colors of a hazy day makes it possibly better in b/w. The waves brings your eyes toward the lighthouse. Bonus points for that. "8"

I really like that the height of the shot is at the same level as the animals. Gives a great feeling that you are there at the scene. It would be interesting to see shots of the first bull with the reflection in the water if you have any after the challenge.

The white of the subject with the surrounding darkness really brings your eyes toward the subject. Love the warm vibrant colors of the flowers. "8"
