    Balancing act

          2

    It's kind of lengthy, but I'd caption this:

     

    "All the one-legged girls formed a clique, started dressing alike, and leaned on one another for support."

     

    I'd go for humor since we tend to look at legs in pairs and the "pairs" here jangle the senses since they don't match (other than being all 'lefties'). I'd even think about cropping it down to the very bottoms of the skirts just to heighten the effect, but then the caption loses something.

    Looks to me like this slacker isn't working as hard as all the others......

     

    I'd probably experiment more with the blurring as it just doesn't look "right". I don't mean "natural" either because I don't think that's what you're after. I'm not sure what I mean, but I'm sure I'll know it when I see it.... I want to say, "Cool!" but I can't and I can't put my finger on why.

  1. I think the inclusion of the road makes this a better picture than the lower angle (or is it just farther back) across the bridge. Part of me would like to see the road to one side or the other, but it looks like the trees are better on the right and the mountains better on the left, so this probably works better than an offset road would have.

     

    I'd have called it "The Bridge and Beyond", but I'm originally from Kansas and Oz stuff abounds there.

  2. ...but I'm not sure it works from a commercial standpoint. There are people who are obviously cut out of this picture (at least one on each side by my count) and the cropping at the top is just a bit too tight. However, those are part of what makes this photo appealing to me, a perfect stranger while it might be disappointing to the groom or members of his family (or make some of them downright angry).

     

    A wider field of view might keep this from looking like you filled the frame and/or captured some sour expressions. I really like all the expressions shown here.

    Looks more like a plane with alternating lights flashing during a lengthy exposure....

     

    Would have been cool if you'd caught an actual meteor though.

    Good composition. I'd just like a little more light on the feet. Too much detail lost to shadow there. Greater depth of field to sharpen the tree would have been nice as well.
