This image has lovely tone and light. I'm less keen on the angle and crop - it feels close and confined without really becoming intimate. I think some eye contact would have made it more personal. Mostly I just find myself wondering why he's at such an extreme angle. It looks like you've got a real talent for portraiture, though.

Ghost Shot

It's tantalisingly out of frame - good stuff. Looks more like some fluff close to the lens to me.

Great capture. The slow sync flash really worked for you here. My only comment is that the red shirts in the background are a little distracting. Perhaps B&W would help? 10

A Day at the Track

Good shot but cropped just a little too far right for my taste. I would have liked the horses just a little more towards the centre. Also a bump in colour and contrast would have added drama. 7

Spinning Globe
by MaineNeff

Comment:
Not a bad idea but what is that background all about? It's very distracting and is in better focus than the spinning globe. Perhaps a slow sync flash here could have stopped the motion of the globe while keeping the motion blur. That focus would have helped draw the eye back to the globe that should be the main subject of the image. Also, if the pattern on the backdrop is meant to be symbolic then perhaps use some negative space around the globe to really make that aparrent. Finally there is a brown/yellow tint to the image that is most aparrent in the whiter areas of the backdrop. This shot is a really good idea that needs just a little work in my view. 7

Audi UR Quattro Action

Comment:
A good attempt at a magazine style "car in motion" shot. Lacks detail in the black car and overall lacks contrast. The brightness of the sky has forced all the other values into the dark end of the range. 7

Great shot. My only comment is that there seems to be a green colour cast to everything. White balance off? Would have been nice to see the flipper's face too but I understand that might not be very easy. :) 8

Sacrilege! A very clean, static shot. I think I'd have liked to see some motion in the hammer. Otherwise a good effort. 8

Great motion and atmosphere in this shot. Would love to know how the blurred portions at the sides were done. Colours are a little posterised but that's a big part of the atmosphere. A real winner of a shot. 10

Great subject and composition but seems to be lacking contrast. A little more work would bring out the detail on your subject and enhance the drama. Overall an excellent shot. 8
