The best surfing picture in the challenge. I like the clarity of your subject, but by far the strongest aspect of this shot is the composition, it works very well.

Wow. Excellent capture. I'm sorry I can't give you any constructive criticism, there's just nothing I'd want to change about this. One of my ribbon picks.

Excellent clarity and great angle. Would also love to see a wider (taller) perspective on this to get a sense of the height of the vault.

The random tail on the left is strange, I don't see why you shouldn't crop it out. Otherwise, a respectable capture of these animals - not really a traditional sport, we'll see how it does in this challenge.

I love the depth of blues in this shot, and it's artistically composed. No action though...

The One Small

It took me a while to figure out what's going on in this picture, the subjects are relatively small in the frame, especially considering there's nothing spectacular about the background. I think it would help if you were closer and perhaps shooting from a different angle, maybe from slightly behind one of the people. Also, midday lighting is hard to shoot in, you might try the same concept later in the day when the sun is less harsh.

I give you credit for actually capturing the action of a sport, thank you. Faster shutter speed would obviously help to freeze the motion (though I know many cameras aren't capable). It looks like there was also a bit of camera shake, which doesn't help with the blur. Post-processing was a little overdone, perhaps on contrast, so the colors look a bit unnatural. And of course everyone on this site loves impossibly clean backgrounds, so if you could shoot this from an angle with less background clutter that would help.

Interesting perspective - he's practically lost in the wave, giving us a good sense of size. I'm curious to see what this is like in color as well, though perhaps the effect would be lost there.

The "sport" part of this is pretty lost against the beautiful background. Nice shot though.

I love the background in this photo - it really captures how chaotic & disorganized children's sports can be. Oh, and nice shot of the runner too.
