Nice one GregP! Same with yours kitebug. Not to be critical but I would compose the yoyo farther left in frame and then try to capture the full shadow breaking out to the right even if you had to crop it. 🙂 It would make a shorter (top to bottom) frame and longer (left to right) but I think it may compose well? ---

Nice, I see you are taking queue from TA on the black string! looks great! I will say that similar to the comment I got previously; on the back light shot it may be good to try and capture the full shadow and shift the frame to show it. ---
