the light seems overly harsh on this.

Nice composition in how it leads your eyes across the image. The bold colors are graphically pleasing, but there seems to be a tad too much contrast. The subject seems a little blown out on the edges of the subject. Good work.

Great idea and great shot1 I think would have been executed a bit better to have the circle more on the left or right of dead center and let the rope balance the composition out on the other hemisphere. The shadow is a bit distracting, but I'm sure it will look great afetr some more editing! - 7 - JeB

Whoa...this is a terrific action shot!! The dynamic color, sense of motion, perspective, and clarity work well together. I think this would do extremely well in an action or sports challenge! The only thing I would change would be to have it going vertical rather than horizontal, to really speak to the heighth of the jump. But that's minor. This is great!! :)
