I've completely redone the composition based on the comments, but I have no opportunity to reshoot it, so the attached is as good as it's going to get I'm afraid. Thanks for your critique.

First Time Working With Models

I'd love some CC on this image. I'm taking an advanced college course on color and light and I shot this photograph to fulfill an assignment called the Psychology of Color. Hopefully the image speaks for itself, but the idea was to capture the red and yellow of the McDonald's logo and associate it with happy folk. What do you all think?

This is a terrific set. My favorite is of the two girls. Fabulous shot

Well, surprise surprise. I guess I got my answer about the worthiness of this image. I just learned today the “To the Victor...” has been juried by the Ventura County Art Council into the upcoming “Still at War/Chaos and Order” Exhibit to be displayed in the Ventura County Government Center Atrium Gallery. That’s pretty cool, and a first for me!

Turns out this image was just juried by the Ventura County Arts Council into an upcoming show at the Ventura County Government Center Atrium Gallery. Wahoo!

The picture is fine, the blur implies action, so it is a very good capture.

Thanks Earnest!

Oh leave them there, they add to the drama and make us wonder what happened to the third bird. I agree with Katydid the blur adds to the action and the quality of the shot,

Funny! Thanks for your comment. I've already removed them. Posting a revision momentarily.
