    I like the second one. The composition is appealing and the lighting works pretty well. I wish the "hat logo" was a little more visible in that shot to give reference to your sport and your "stick" but there is enough of it showing. The first one is too dark under the hat brim and the last two look a little too "posed" for my tastes.

    I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

    I like the 2nd one the best as well. Very natural looking pose and the composition is good.

    The second one is the best. You might want to unzip that jacket a bit. Just seems a bit unnatural, although I know your going to cold ice hockey feel. Maybe if you were able to shoot on the rink with a shallow DoF it would add to that feel? Just a thought.
    What if the Hokey Pokey REALLY IS what it's all about?

    The irony, I HATE posing for photos, I hate having pictures taken of me. One of the reasons when I shoot non sports I try to blend in, I feel like you get better facial expressions and more natural expressions that way. I kind of shot a bunch and tried to either be serious, or tried to make myself laugh so it looked natural.

    I want to go back behind my camera please.

    I really like your last shot of the most recent series. The composition is nice and the focus on your eyes is dead on. We can finally clearly see the blade from your stick without having to guess what it is. I think you have found your entry.thumb.gif

    Now go back behind the camera and relax.:D

    They all still seem blah to me. I am trying to come up with an idea that really sets it apart from...hmmm just standing in front of my camera with a remote. Mucho challenging cause if I come up with an idea I have to manipulate myself to it, which can be hard via the trial and error of snapping some photos.\

    I figured a self portrait including one of my others hobbies would be a good idea.
