 this was a rushed shot, so it may not do very well this week, but I wanted to try to play around with motion and long exposures. The ball was made with several pennies wrapped in foil attached to a string. It's hard to get young hyoeractive models to hold their head still while spinning a ball on a string, but Zach did a pretty good job here.

I spent a while looking at this photograph thinking about dismemberment & chaos. It's something motion does to me on a subconsious level I guess. Well done!

Good blur... this possibly lacks interest in composition. The negative space doesn't add much to the theme for me. = 5

Nice shot, but seems a little overexposed... there are burnt out highlights on the boy's face. Too much NeatImage appears to have been used, as everything has a very plastic/ posterised texture. I would have liked a much tighter crop. Shame about the shadow which has been thrown across the boy's top.

Nice that his main body and face are still and that the ball and hand are in motion. That circle is nicely subtle. I think a closer crop would be better - the negative space adds nothing for me in this example. Lighting is also too "yellow".

Nice picture, nice colors, nice use of negative space.
