Well, you know you've had some shots that you said, "IF ONLY I..." or some that could have been winners, however, focus etc. was missed.

So, I'm starting a NEAR MISS section, let's see your potential.
Here's mine from last night, If only I boosted the ISO and speed.   Big Grin

If only I hadn't told her to pose like a model... lol.  I did get good stuff at this shoot I promise, this one just makes me laugh.  My poor little disjointed model...

Travis, you kill me!

This one was one my husband took.  It's not perfect or edited, but it was candid-ish, and that's MY flash in the right hand side of the frame ruining the shot.  We have a lot of near misses becaues I get in the way of my husband, d'oh.

Mike, I personally don't have a problem with the speed that you used for your photo. I can see how you might have liked it faster, but I like the blurry on this one, I like the sense of motion that it gives. :-)

Yep, motion is good to have, you NEED a focused point, like the FACE, it should have been focused, only then, would it have been a winner.

I was thrilled to get both the front horse and the last horse each with all four feet off the ground, but wish it were a better exposure.
