gymnastic semifinals:
LL-A striking blend of images really captures the gymnastics event.
ST- From the talons on a gymnast, the silhouette, and good action shots, a very well rounded entry that satisfies all I need to know of the event.
DN-All the images really benefit each other, nothing is in excess here.
Louiville
ST-We all like the raw emotion in this celebration shot and the clean background. Her diagonal body angle makes efficient use of the frame.
ST- we all thought the positioning of the subjects in the cheering shot worked well, with the most exuberant one on the left bouncing the energy to the other side of the frame in perfect balance. It just seems to reverberate back and forth.
ST-I had to fight for the Bob Ross skimming photo for third, but it goes to the alternate position. I love how different it is, more pictorial than anything else. The photographer is in danger however of leaning too heavy on the CLARITY tool, you need to lay off, That put the other judges off, but I am still in favor of the image overall.
