Superb action both with the wave and the man. Your timing is100%. Exposure excellent and that's hard on very frothy water. Should finish in the high rise apartments!

Well done. I like your choice of colors. Composition is right on. The darker spots on the lip of the cup are a bit bothersome. This is not an easy shot - congrats on getting it done!

Salmon Leap

Who stole your bear? This is great - don't recall seeing one bearless for quite some time. The stop action is perfect, composition superb. The only problem is the oof rocks in the lower right, but you can't have both a super-fast shutter and a stopped-down lens. Exposure on the white water is tough, but you handled it very well - keeping the salmon's colors. Overall - top 10 in my opinion.

There are very few shots that are packed full of total WOW - but this is one of them. Could it be possible that this was a "first try" - as her clothes don't even look wet yet! I'll be very surprised if this doesn't finish 2nd! (I know that's a risky prediction, but it's my guess.) Everything is just "right" - congratulations on a superb entry.

Rifle Shooted Water Balloon.

WOWZERS! Now that's what I call stop action! Even though you had little control over what shapes would evolve - it is a really pleasing composition. Not to mention your choice of balloon color, background and lighting setup are perfect. If this one doesn't win the blue..... I'll be shocked.

It's a nice scene and has great potential of team "action. " I revisted this image and re-scored, looking to see if the "action" was a key element. Although it's not action-packed, it does have the kinetic energy required. Nice submission.

It's an excellent basball shot. But I believe you need to be much closer to really show team sport "action."

Good capture of the "water ball" in a semi-team-sport.
