| Nice expression on the kid and all the elements are there that tell what's happening. The arm, however, is an odd element--its awkward angle is only accentuated by the too bright light and the lack of focus. I think a greater depth of field would have helped...the picture makes me want to look at what he's looking at, but when I get to the ball I'm forced back to his face. |

| Very nice, but the angle of the shot makes it look like the arm is bending backward. Love the lighting. It's hard to get the face properly exposed under a baseball cap. Good work. |

| The point of this challenge was to avoid blurs. Unfortunately, here the ball and the arm are blurred. You needed a fast shutter speed. |

| I think the ball should be in focus instead of the boy, it appears as if the ball is moving. |

| good idea, but would be slightly more interesting if you had photographed it higher in the air, during his swing (there isn't much to anticipate in this particular pose). i would also prefer slightly greater DOF, but that's simply a matter of personal taste. good work. |

| Nice composition. Unfortunately, the DOF choice here leaves the objects that are in motion (arm and ball) out of focus, kinda defeating the idea of "Stop Motion". |

| cool idea but the lack of DOF kills it a bit since the stop action is supposed to be at the heart of the concept |

| Good idea. Different from most shots in challenge. I like the angle you selected but think that widening the shot out a little to include all the racket head would have made this a slightly stronger composition. It looks like you had some fairly strong light here as the details along the arm seem blown out; the face and white shirt, however, retain some detail and those are the more important elements IMO. Nice use of DoF to direct the viewer's attention to the subject's face. |

| As the challenge was about capturing motion, I would suggest the ball should be in focus and not the boy. It is the ball that is "stopped". |

| I really like this shot and think the focus on the eyes is excellent. For this particular challenge, I think it would be better if the object in motion were also in focus, but that would have been hard for this shot and I like the overall image the way you shot it. Very nice job. |
