there is a very distracting line artifact in the upper central portion of your image.
The focus througout is not very sharp. The glare off the hand gun is also a bit strong.
On the plus side - you met the challenge without a doubt.

What a wonderful photo! Great action shot and shows creativity. Anyone can take a picture of a ball being tossed, or a bat being swung, but you went beyond that and captured the emotion of a "pickle". The clarity of all the players faces and actions are well demonstrated. Colors are vivid, with all areas looking properly exposed. I really like the composition. You have all the involved players, both directly and indirectly in the shot - and kept the image as a whole very well balanced.
Keep up the good shots!

some of the wood areas seem over-exposed, almost as if a flash was used and caused areas to be too bright. May be corrected by use of the burn tool

** Greetings from the Critique Club **

As stated in almost all other comments you received,including my own during voting, the image is sized too small for a fair evaluation. Size does matter here as larger reveals more detail.
Composition is an equally important factor. While the image does follow pretty close to the rule of thirds, it is cropped too tightly on the left. Perhaps this was to crop out the passing boat, that is what I would assume as I can see some break in the water along the left that would not be from your own boat.
Some comments you received mentioned the image appearing too dark. The water is perfect in my eye. Perhaps a little dodge tool on the skier herself would have made her stand out more.
Nice action shot, keep up the great shooting.
