I was wondering if this idea would get a ribbon this time. It's always been a succesful choice for this kind of challenge and....... it has happened again!!.

Congrats on the perfect execution and the ribbon!!

Great shot. I actually had an exact image of this (except with a dart) ready to enter for this challenge, and decided on the advice of my DPCO team mates to go with the wolves. :)

Excellent catch of the impact.

I've see this before on DPC and I'd like to try it too. Unfortunatelly I don't have the equipment. How would it look with a slightly lower shutter speed? I'd like to see one of these photos looking like a huge crystal drop of water... I gave it a 9, not 10 just because it does not have the wow effect for my taste.

Excellent high-speed catch -- can't image what the studio looked like when you were finished.

Nice work, I love the use of the intersting arrow, it works so much better than the skewer lol

Nicely done. I wonder how many balloons were harmed in the making of this shot?

Love the effect of this as always. Must of made quite a mess trying to get the exact right shot. I think the crop maybe is a little close on top and bottom as we lose the extremes of the splash

Excellent shot! Compound or recurve?

This is great execution of stopped motion. But I don't feel any action from this photo.

Love this, I have been trying to perfect this myself, Great idea with the arrow, nice and sharp, good border, 7/10

This is very impressive however I have seen this done by NstiG8tr. I am of course assuming that NstiG8tr is not the photographer here. Still I just can't help being impressed here.
