*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An interesting image that is assumed to meet the challenge.

A great action capture that has frozen the moment well. The flash has added an extra vibrancy to the image. Given the pleasing dark background it would be a lot better without the distracting lights and reflection, I think these would improve the overall impact if they were cloned out. I can see your reasoning behind the amended title but the new title only really means anything if you've heard the quote which I haven't and probably many others here haven't either. This is probably reflected in your score nd helps demonstarte the importance of a suitable title.

Thanks for your submission, apologies for the delay, Sid

Great timing and control of the flash reflecting off the water.

Interesting view, but I'm not crazy about the background.

I always clean objects like this before shooting them unless for some reason, the point was that it was dirty. Most of us have our own filth to look at, we don't want to look at yours too. We want to still be able to tell ourselves that we're the only slobs out there, and everyone else has perfectly clean keyboards and monitors. This is just too "real" for me. :)
