Everyone must be recovering from a lot of weekend activities! The pictures are great. Love the backgrounds, exposures and conversions. Can't think of anything to change. I've been to the drum circle a few years back - a GREAT place for photography!

Hey, good stuff. I like 2, 3, and 4. With 1 and 5, I'd like to see more of what they're doing. One thing about this drum circle series is that there are no drums.

I like these. I'm not much of a pro here but I enjoy these because they're candid, honest, and simple. #2 is great and probably my favorite of the bunch. When I first saw #3 I was looking to crop. But another look and I saw the three figures in the middle ground I would have lost if indeed it was cropped. Then after that I was drawn to the tree topped ridge in the background. There are so many different places to look that I then thought it should stay just the way it is. And the action of the sand on the girl's sandal is great.

Haha yah I've taken other pictures of this drum circle before so I wasn't as interested in the actual drummers. :)

Thanks!

I really like #2. The silhouettes are crisp and the picture really tells a story.

Good shots. I'm not really an 'urban' shooter - trying to develop my 'eye' for this genre at the moment.

#2 is great as was said above
