| I somehow missed this 1st time through. VERY good capture! After being involved with cheerleading for over two years, I know what a difficult shot this truly is. Congrats on a fine entry and terrific score. |

| actually, I think the reason why I like this is b/c it really reminds of a shot I took in college, here. Hah, well i mean, same sort of theme anyway. |

This image captures lots of 'spirit', action, movement, and is also quite 'emotive' to view.
A 'moment in time' frozen, and captured for us to see.
Well done Richard.

| Hey! You're around my neck of the woods! Well at least my family's old neck of the woods. This shot is really awesome. I think you're right that some little tweaks could make it even better, but it's great as is. The focus is phenomenal, and the moment evokes a lot of energy and emotion. I really like this! |

| i thought it should have been higher on the board. Personally, I like the right side and I like that its blown out a bit. It gives it an odd balance that works. Looking at it again, the smoothness is a little much on the skin. First time I saw it, I liked that part of it but now looking again it seems a tad over done. Congrats on your 11th place. Should have been higher though. |

| Oh so close to the star.Great pic. I like the action, the positioning of the cheerleader, and the smooth effect.This is great processing. I really need to know how to get the shiny effect on the skin. PLs share. |

| Great catch. I like the post processing. I'm very picky when it comes to the smoothness effect of noise reduction but it works for me in this shot. |

AWESOME!!! just a great capture. I would love to know how you got "the look" of this photo. A couple little things that catch my eye. The heel on her left shoot is very blown out (but I love the effect on the shoe laces) and it looks like some of the printing on the wall has been edited out!? I wonder if this was intentional or not? If you could shoot me a PM with the details on the edit and if was correct or not about the printing edit I would be very appreciative. As I am trying to work on details myself.
A very worthy 10 from me for an awesome capture and edit.
Best of luck. Scott |

| Nice stop actions! Great muscle definition on the cheerleader! I'm not too thrilled with the composition. It would be better if she was jumping into the frame instead of seeming like she is about to exit it. |

| This is an excellent capture! I really hope that you're a university photographer, or at least work for the school, because they've got to love this shot. I work freelance for a university and know that they'd just about kill for a shot like this. Some might wish her face were visible, but I like it as it is - the motion and energy of it is captured very well. 10 |
