Great Shot. I have nothing to say in the line of critiquing. I especially love the full frame of feathers and the blue of the birds body just popping out.

Nice shot. Sharp focus, captured mid air. I would have loved to see just a little bit of motion/blur from a slower shutter (what I always see from horse racing shots- but it must be hard to capture that with a jump!).

Overall nice shot.

The horses leggings and pink shoes are awesome.

I think this could be a great shot, but it's a little too dark... and the guitar, shirt and background all blend in together, so it almost looks like a floating head and arms. I would love to see it with some level adjustments.

You captured a great expression/moment.

Thanks for the comments. First challenge entered for me, and I've come to realize that no one can read my mind! The white "wall" behind the bear is actually a bathroom. The story I had in my head was the bathroom light turning on and the teddy bear being angry with the lights on (and you know in the morning when the light turns on how it's really bright and hurts your eyes).

But the washing out of the bathroom light washed out the door knob and towel racks, which were the distinguishing factors of the bathroom (why I originally framed it the way I did).

Good fun and good learning experience!

Thanks for those that left comments... hopefully I can only go up from here!
