THis is a great shot. You can almost feel the sand and the salt of the sea. And that really is a beautiful about. Did you write it yourself?
Well done
Your friend in South Africa

Great action shot. its great that you captured the expression on the players face. I'm not trying to be picky, it is a good photo, but what if you tried a crop that brought you closer into the action? Just an idea.
Well done!

good shot, but it would be better if there had been a bit more detail on the plain. i know it is sumthing that is difficult to control, but its justy sumthing. osides from that it is a very good shot.perhaps another isea would be to crop slightly differently: bring the top just a bit lower, and the bottom a bit higher. then you get a longer frame that emphasizes the curve of the spray.

I was told in my lessons that a sheet of white paper would work as a good reflector. it didnt. so i wrenched my mirror of my wall, and used that instead. it worked, but no i cant get my mirror back on the wall.

Great photo. youve captured such a wonderful expression on the persons face. the wideangle, (i assume u used a wide angled lense here), hives makes the photo so dynamic. and i really like the DOF, it looks really good (clap, clap)

There's not much i can say that hasn't already been said. but i was looking at the photo, especially the up and down line created by the horses, when i had an epiphany(is that how you spell it). that line makes me think of that chinese/japanese (i cant remember which) ying/yang sign. if i remember correctly, the ying yang represents balance and tranquility. so, not only will you find security in this photo, but you find peace too.
this is one of my favourite shots of yours. Well done!

What i like here is the way there are so many different levels here. If i felt likebeing overly critical (which i do), i would say that you have cut one of the sheep perfectly in half. It doesnt change the photo much, but if you had to spend a couple hours staring at the photo, i would find the rear half of the sheep distracting ;)

Seeing as i am related to you, i think I'm allowed to be harsh (even is it is infair, it makes me feelbetter). The boat is slightly to much in the centre. Maybe if you put it slightly to the ne side, it would look slightly better. But it has nice colours and i like the use of levels.

Of all your photos on UF, i think this is your best. It has strong colours, brought out by some very cleverly photoshop editing. Nice lines that smoothly criss-cross the scene. And i like the tree that is just off-centre.
I would give this photo 6, but i think, with the help in photoshop i gave you, you deserve an extra point.

I like this photo. it has great lines that lazily flow through the scene. It makes me think of the laziness and tranqulity of farmlife. God, i sound like im analyzing a poem. I think you must take me out that school.

I once remember you telling me to try and get truangles into my photographs. It's something I've always remembered, and here i can see a good example of photographic triangulation.

I have Photoshop CS3, and if you go to the Image/adjustments, it has an option called Photo Filter... I don't know if the other versions have it, but it came with CS3

A good photo. An interesting angle to take a photo from. the only problem i see is that the girl had to roll her eyes too far back to look at you, so the pupils get lost. perhaps if you'd had her somnewhere else, or if you took the photo from slightly higher, so that you see the pupils. otherwise a good shot.
