Love the overall color--it almost looks like an old photo. The splash of light behind her is just right. Not to mention that cupid's got nothing on this girl! Well done!

Good shot! Very clear when you consider that a living fly isn't exactly the most easily shot creature! Great color. Nicely done.

I can't imagine how loud that must have been for the people on that boat! Way to capture a VERY fleeting moment. Well done.

The lighting on her face is just right. Excellent job indeed, although I can't imagine taking a BAD picture of a model that beautiful! :o)

Great shot! You almost had the Olympic rings in there! I wouldn't have gone Black & White, but it's not a bad choice.

Good use of the main theme to convey movement and action. Not bad!

The color and texture of this photo is unreal (literally and figuratively). I love it--truly a level of photography I aspire to hit someday. 4th place--great job!

This looks different from all the other entries (in a good way), and I gotta give extra credit for the degree of difficulty. Good job! 8

Wow! Seriously great shot--one of your best, from what I've seen. Lighting, color, fast shutter setting (obviously)--everything turned out well. Be proud of this one!

CalliopeKel--Thanks for your comments. Yes, I used the onboard flash, which is MILES ahead of the one I had on my Nikon 5700. The bathroom is quite bright, too, so I backed up a bit and zoomed in. I figured that wouldn't wash out his face in light, and it worked pretty well.
The Rebel is absolutely awesome--I love it. I feel like I've been driving a Toyota all my life, and now I'm sitting behind the wheel of a Porche! I made this shot in auto mode, but I've been messing with the manual settings, and will be using those features a lot too.
Anybody else want to comment? Thanks in advance.
