 I have no idea how this will fare. Its a somewhat abstracted view of the physical act of jump. I feel it meets the challenge but others might not. This was my first idea and it was so strong I went out immediately to go shoot it. I love it regardless of what score it gets.

I'm sure close examination of the fingers doesn't show nearly enough strain, which makes sense since basically I focused the camera on a low wall out at the Gorge, set the timer, hit the button, jumped the wall and crouched down behind it and placed my hands where I hoped they'd show up in the frame. I tried to scrunch them a bit as if I was scrabbling for a purchase. Heh, we'll see if that relates at all!
