What an awesome capture! Highly ferocious of course but it just makes me want to laugh. Nice crop as well.

This is a creative effort with great visual powerThe choice of the blur adds the illusion of movement to compliment the punch. Will place it at 6 and will return for final evaluation.

back; fitsy O never questioned the validity since this can be accomplished several ways. But who are these members who are so green in this industry that they suspect ps. Remember, hollywood and trick photography existed way before ps ever entered the picture.

I am bumping this image to 10 because it is a creative effort of which there are not as many as I expected. It has remain a rather safe ground entry contest.

This is a wonderful shot, but the shadow on the front of her is more distracting to me. I see what you are going for and it's very well done but the proportions seems off a bit, the shadow should be a little smaller to me, jut a bit and the way it falls across her body is distracting. And there is no real sharpness in any of the shot, if the actual boxer was in better focus I would score this higher. I started at a 6 on this, first glance and upon further examination I'm raising it to a 7

Interesting shot to look at. Not sure I like the blurred forground though. Is there a way you could have put it behind her? Her face is also a bit out of focus.
