Sorry, but putting 4x100 relay in the title doesn't make swimming a TEAM sport :)

Nice try though.

There's always got to be at least one on every site... wasting everyone's time.

Don't Look Back

I think you softened this up a little too much. I don't get the same energy as I would if it had a bit more grain/noise to it.

Young: How I see myself when I look in the mirror...

I had a *VERY* similiar idea, but I just.. couldin't.. figure out how to pull this off. Could you PM me with some details maybe? I'd like to do the shoot I had in mind armed with some knowledge of how to go about it. This is a fantastic idea, btw. (mine involves a skinny child seeing herself as fat in the mirror, a commentary on eating disorders and our society), and it's really well executed. Fabulous.

This should have made the top 3, and you didn't even hit top 20.. that's just robbery.. pure and simple.

A favorite, great shot.

Not entirely a sihouette, but a little too much so to truly stay in the challenge description. A fill-in flash may have helped if it was powerful enough, or a reflector. Backlit shots on the water are really tough.

Cranes At Sunset

This is quite beautiful.. but the only things that *aren't* silhouetted are the cranes.

I like this, with a few minor suggestions. I think a looser crop at the top of the head would have been a better idea. The pose is good, but the child's face lacks a certain emotion (this is tough though.. I know!). Other than that, it's a great backlighting shot, and a wonderful idea.

This is truly a gorgeous photograph. The backlighting works wonderfully well, the subject is dark, but details can still be seen (and I use a pretty dark monitor), and the pose is fantastic. The sepia tone was a great choice as well. Great job.

Palm Effect

The lens flare in this photograph really detracts from the shot for me. Also, (even with my monitor brightness and contrast up), it's still far too silhouetted.
