A slingshot!!! Excellant! I'm a major theme park junkie, and this is one of my favorites! Looks like you got it on the way down, good timing and framing. If you get a chance, shoot this one at night. The cage should be lit for the on-ride camera. Timing would be tough though, You'd have to catch it right at the top before it flips/rolls, or at the bottom when it slows down for a moment. Great expressions!

This is very nice! Technically, it's a little drab, but it's a sweet capture and a unique circle within this challenge. 7 from me :-)

nice shot I think it would have benefited from much more dramatic light ... this seems like it was shot in the late morning early afternoon light which doesn't give the best results for these kinds of shots.

Great action shot. I like how the sides are cropped so that you can't see what the ring is attached to. I wonder if it wouldn't create some more excitement if, instead of being centered, the subjects were closer to the top of frame. Seems like it could have a little more "Pop" though I can't really explain this. Color saturation maybe?

Oh i give this a 10! But is this one you took or did the people at the park take it? and NO that's not a stupid question!

Great shot. If you could have gotten a motion blur from it, it would have been a 10. 7

This is fantastic!! May be my favorite one of the whole bunch. The sharpness is incredible! Great stop action. I love how you have cropped it to look like they are floating in mid-air. I love the happy look on their faces. I would not be at all surprised to see this one in the winner's circle next Wednesday! Good luck! 10

Wow this is a super stop action. What fun. (were you nauseated afterward?) I'd bring up the sky saturation a tad.

FUN!!
