...trying to catch the Golden Snitch, of course... made the snitch and attached it to my husband's middle finger with a long loop... and yes, i do like exactly like that, silhouetted on the sky, with just a glint of gold... and no, i don't think it's too big, looks just right to me... for a homemade snitch, i mean... i do thank you all in advance for all other comments!

Cute - I'd like to see more gold on the golden snitch, though

This photograph is a refreshing sight inbetween the majority of photos submitted to the challenge. Makes for an interesting shape - contrasted/sillhouted against the cloudless blue sky - almost like an ink blot image on blue paper and very abstract. I would have tried to have the ball with a little more light on it, I guess, so as to make the shape a little less flat looking, though this isn't probably what you wanted to achieve yourself. I think you spent a lot of time and thought in creating the photograph (?) and it is still very thought provoking. Well done.

Didn't really like the image that much, but TOTALLY got the idea. And, it IS a team sport - one you don't really see that much. :-) Would have liked slightly more detail so that it was less silhouettish - maybe some more "sidelighting". Anyway, good luck with the challenge.

I see a ball, a hand. Where did the wings come from? I don't "get it." Then again, I not an avid sport fan.

I like the concept and I loved the Harry Potter series (can't wait for book 6!), but overall the picture is a bit boring. The detail in the "wings" of your "snich" almost get lost in the silhouette, and there is a lot of dead space. Also not much action going on.

I'm afraid this just doesn't "grab" me... I know that there's some sort of Harry Potter connection there, but that's about the extent of my knowledge here...

Well focused and good composition. I just couldn't make myself give still shots the same score as the action shots for this challenge. I felt action shots demonstrated a higer skill level of photography and therefore merited higher scores.

there should be some light on the image to enhance it

Good idea, but the idea of the Snitch is that it's small and hard to see.
