Well thanks to everyone who voted for me.

Up - Let's Get Physical

Thanks for putting this one in DD I know you weren't happy with it personally I didn't think it was a bad shot, it was on theme, nicely exposed I think a lighter and less textured backdrop would have finished it off nicely.

Down - Park Run

I really liked this shot and felt it captured the event really well, I could feel the competativeness from the shot and felt the processing was nicely done and gave it a timeless feel. This one got my vote.

I also really liked LaPistola's familly the nice leasurely sunday morning lie in loved the DOF which gave the woman a dreamy look.

I do have another theme in mind which I will post tomorrow.

Thanks for the vote and surprising comments.

Up - Walking & Rambling....
It taken me a minute or two to think how this was on theme and I think its the use of the stick for a leisurely hike. As a photo I think I would have liked a different composition, it had the feel of a product in use shot (other than B&W).

Down - Let's Get Physical
A still life shot so a bit different from your typical shot on this theme which I like. I think the disc could have been out or case could have been in a slightly different place but as an admitted rush job no ones judging. It does tell a story about the photographer though.

Haha it doesnt.......i had to dust everything off first!!!!

Up: 'Basketball Still-Life'.

Well done for the imaginative subject inspired by your trip no doubt. A very high contrast and stylised image which works well. Perhaps slightly overexposed or contrast boosted too much which has washed out a lot of detail.

Down: 'Family'.

A soft focus tretment emphasising a lazy sleepy morning. Good eye contact from the children.
