That would look a lot more realistic if the guy wasn't standing right there holding a mic

Thank you kyricom, That guy -- he was always near...

great natural split second!

Yes, it captures a moment, but not a good image, it is oof and course.

Whats is most important here is that I got the shot in a split second! Thank you Craigers!

it is a good point, but this is also a photo contest, so the entries should be of a quality worthy of it.

Well then, red flag it

Sometimes the purity of a moment over rides everything tech.The priceless looks on these two unsuspecting gals is the nature of the beast, Photography! with theme on point! imo

AMEN!!

why would I red flag it, it is not off theme, just not so good quality. If you cannot take criticism like this, I suggest you make your comments private, then no one will leave them anyway!

There only seems to be ONE person on her that constantly criticizes my work- I keep the comments public because I enjoy them!!

isn't it strange how you only seem to remember the criticism, but not the praise.....

I agree with Ade about the quality of the shot. I also agree that the smile on the girl's face says a lot. If you could have had both the smiles AND the shot, it would have been fantastic

I agree, But unfortunately the universe did not all come together for the shot, however I am glad I caught it!
