Teamwork is great but you have to be prepared for when it's just you and the other guy!

I think the abbreviated title would have been fine, but perhaps you're wise to not take chances with the voters. Excellent action capture, isolating your subjects from the background. From that angle, I just hope you weren't trying to referee the match at the same time.

Good use of a familiar symbol; good lighting, exposure, and color scheme. It's a little odd having the quotation on the monument readable, since it's different from your caption. In this one case, I might have considered blurring the type on the monument slightly.

Maybe this will motivate me to work on this technique -- I have a couple of good flying bird shots in the last month.

Perspective distortion (?) on the right bothers me some. I might have tried cropping a square out of this, and put it on a vertical layout with two lines of type below, maybe shortening it to
Walk Slowly,
But Never Backwards

A beautiful image and presentation. I think more black at the bottom and moving the type down would make it a more traditionally poster-shaped.

Tired of Dead Ends?

I glad to se some people using "non-pretty" pictures; this is appropriately "gritty" for your topic. For some reason the inner, light border by the brick bothers me a little, maybe because it almost but doesn't quite mimic the mortar lines. I'd like to see this with the inner black border touching the bricks.
Also, you have a typo or syntax error -- the next-to--last word should be "than" (but I don't deduct for typos!).

Ditto. Hope your GF has recovered ...
