A difficult challenge which makes the judgement not easy.
PB PM: Obviously out of your comfort zone (no bird in sight
). The jewels are a bit dark though, the should look a bit brighter and sparkly.
turtle: An intriguing shot, makes me thinking about the story behind the picture.
brad: Definitely way out of your comfort zone. Honorable mention for the most challenging environment.
billybobsky: Interesting composition, reminds me of some modern art building.
Probably quite a challenge to shoot with that 'camera'.
AWR: Nice find, but I think you could have challenged yourself a bit more.
And so we come to the winner:
Xactly: Great shot, very clear, could have been from a product shooting. Not easy to shoot and definitely a challenge when you are not used to shooting motion shots.
(BTW: To take the challenge to the next step, you can try to use a slower shutter speed when panning to blur the background and increase the impression of speed).
