Comment by Lydia:
Great to have the heron to give the falls scale in the viewer's mind. Before I got to it, I was thinking they were much smaller.

Good composition and content but image quality is a little 'artifacty'.

I actually really like this. There's something haunting about it almost. The style of the black and white is excellent. Perhaps if you shielded their stands with some grass...make it look like they were in a field...but really, this is great.

Personal opinion says that you may have needed a boost on that contrast bar. I think that would bring the ball to life more. Also, maybe add something to it. Like a flag or hole in the background or something. Just a thought for next time! :)

Black and white is good -- I like to give pictures like this a slight bluish cast/tint (especially in the white areas) to make it look colder.

Most silhouettes that do well in these challenges tend to be static and lifeless. They often get by on color and sharpeness alone. Sometimes the subjects are asked to jump in an attempt to make the image come alive, which is what a photograph really needs. Here, the subjects aren't even alive much less jumping around yet this is more real than many other photos depicting real subjects. A credit to the photographer.
