Thank you, Cindy. I don't do much panning shots myself. I've tried it with birds in flight, but, without great success. With race cars, it's much easier. You know when they're coming, you know how far away they are, and you know where they will go...and there are many more opportunities to shoot them as they circle around the track. |

Thank you, Ray. Yes, the grass in the foreground added nothing to the image. |

Thank you, Robert. Your right about the image needing a little more room in front of the car. Hmm...I could easily add some blurred background using Photoshop's content-aware clone. |

This is a beautifully composed landscape image with so much texture. The late-afternoon, side lighting makes the orange rocks, well, rock. Maybe a little too much saturation though. If you have the raw file, you might try reducing the orange saturation as it might help bring out more detail in the rocks. |

Thank you, Charlie. Not sure what speed they were going. Best estimate ~80 mph (130 kph).

I agree with Phyllis's comments. The dancer is nicely posed and sharp. The background is non-distracting and the color matches parts of the dancer's outfit. If I were make any suggestions, it might be to reduce the yellows in the white balance. |

Thank you, Phyllis. With respect to the shutter speed, I varied it from 1/60 - 1/200 sec. If I had used a faster shutter speed, the background would not have looked so blurry. Also, these race cars were going very fast, and we were relatively close to the track. If they were going slower, I would have needed a slower shutter speed to get the same blurred effect. |

This is a wonderful horse picture! It looks like a horse portrait in a frame. You captured the horse with its head and neck at the perfect moment right between the two vertical gray posts behind it. The diagonals of the horse's head and neck contrast nicely with the vertical and horizontal lines of the stable. And, the teal frame and orangish color of the horse complement each other well. My only suggestion would be to straighten the horizontal perspective so that the upper edge of the window frame is parallel with the upper edge of the image. You fixed the vertical perspective nicely.
P.S. That Nikon mirrorless camera/lens looks like a winner! |

First, a warm welcome to our study group! Upon seeing your cricket image, I suspected it wasn't taken in the U.S. It's interesting to have, in our group now, photographers from all over the world. I have to admit I know nothing about cricket. But, I like the action you captured in the pitch and the intense look on the pitcher's face. I also like how you cloned out the tree trunks as they were somewhat distracting in the original image being right behind the two players. |

Having a degree in aeronautical and astronautical engineering, I'm fascinated with airplanes, and as an engineer, I find the geometric patterns of the beam structures quite interesting. As a photograph though, I'm not sure what should be drawing my attention - the airplane nose or the geometric beam structures. I like the image as a B&W, but the image seems a little flat and might be improved with more contrast. |

This is the kind of spot I would love to find for night photography. You captured the entire scene well with what appears to be a wide-angle lens. There is interest in the foreground, middle and background. The long-exposure worked very well for capturing the car lights. The sunset is perfectly exposed, but draws all of my attention to it because it the brightest area in the image. The trees are a little too dark. If you have the raw file, it might help to increase the shadows to bring out some detail in the trees. |
