Nice shot. No real sense of heart pounding action here, but like the other concert shots the performer is 'in action' so it meets the challenge. Like the colors and the composition. Might have cropped it so part of his head didn't get lopped off on the left. DOF is good here but also think slightly increased it would have gotten that kids face in focus and that would have added some drama to the shot. Overall, really nice shot. 5.

Like this shot quite a bit. Great action, great composition. Love the fact that the subject is nice and sharp. The smoke trail gives a nice sense of movement without you sacrificing focus for blur. Looks a little washed out like it could have benefited from some saturation and some curves/contrast boost to give a little more pop. Overall, really nice entry. Good job. 5.

Nice shot, loads of action. Like the composition, do not like the border at all. So many shots in this challenge managed to crop out part of the subject, I'm glad you got all of the guy and his paddle in here. Really nothing bad to say, though a slight increase in constrast might give a little more pop to this. Still, really nice work. Good job, 6.

This gives me more a sense of agony than action, but this guy is 'in action' so I'm thinking it meets the challenge. Would like to see all of his hanging hair, looks like a bit got cropped out. Lighting is really good, I think the shadows on his face intensify the effect here. Might have composed it with the guy off to the side. Like the DOF, just enough detail on the bystanders to see they are watching intently and make the guy even more the focus of the shot. Good job, 6.

Dude! nice shot, meets the challenge well. Looks a little washed out, maybe up the saturation. Like the crazy pose the guy is in. Well done. 6.

Really nice. Meets the challenge well. Love the BW processing, love the shadows on the concrete. Could maybe up the contrast a bit so some of the lines on the ground stand out a bit more? I'm not a big fan of borders and this one doesn't do anything for me. Would be a bit better if the kid were more sharply in focus, don't think the litle bit of motion blur conveys any more action than the pose you captured him in. Overall a really fine shot, great job. 6.

This is a really nice shot. I love the processing. I think it might be a bit more interesting cropped so the guys are more off to the side. As far as action goes, this isn't getting my heart pumping but it does show them 'in action' so it meets the challenge as far as that goes. nice work, 6.

Very nice shot, meets the challenge well. Could live without the border. Love the motion blur and how the bystander is posed. It seems to get a bit out of focus around that big light which is a little bit distracting as the light is pretty prominent in the shot. Love the BW processing. Good job. 6.

Really nice shot, meets the challenge well. The composition is well balanced, the colors work great. Good contrast - everything jumps out at you. Only thing that distracts me a bit is the flash being very harsh on the chunk of snow nearest the camera. Really nice work, good job. 7.

Great action shot! Love the composition though I think cropping so the guy is a bit higher in the shot would add even more excitement. Also think processing for a bit more color in the sky might have given it a little more pop, but what a great shot overall. 7.
