Well, I see you've already entered the skateboarder! Both are exhilarating sports, that people get a real "high" from, so I think they both work. I do like what you've done to the background in the skateboarding shot. That is a unique treatment, at least to me. I've never seen grain used like that! What a cool idea! I've got about a million prints I could use that on!

The images are both engaging but I don't know that they evoke joy or sorrow in me. People do get joy from both, but I'm not seeing the joy in these photographs.

That said, #1 is a cool shot, though is it just a tad oof? I love what you did with the grain!

Ah, gone last weekend....last week and the week before 8 - 10 meetings each week and now this weekend babysitting 5 of the grandkidletts....so ....ever heard of a place holder so you don't miss an opportunity?

Yes, that is what I did....hoped y'all would like either/both....but did not miss an opportunity to enter....my train of thought is somewhat less than normal....and NO it is not mental-pause!!! rofl

Thanks for the comments....got another 24 hrs of duty so I am going with the skateboarder....and want to soar like he is doing and hope it touches the emotions of others!!!

...thanks again, I used it as a place holder while I got some cc... but know the joy skateboarders get when they successfully "catch air"....remember when my boys did it...they were happy campers er, skaters!

I think the one you entered is the best! I like what you did in the background - or was that noise there? It's cool!

Yes, it is noisy!! Others mentioned it also....it seems to lend itself to his particular photo.
