Looks severely oversharpened, at least on my screen but other than that pretty good shot. I can´t help but wonder what it would have looked like with a natural backround, like a meadow or something but it works like it is. Great job.

Comment by Imagineer:
Great vibe through the processing. The subject is bang-on, but the composition is a tad too tight to the bottom and it is oversharpened. Lighting is clear but it lacks aatmosphere - although this would be a fairly good stock photo for a subject like 'bending over backwards'.

As an artistic photo, I'm not sure what I think of it really. Its main appeal for me is the tones and definition but the pose doesn't sit well aesthetically, despite the brilliant athlete involved. I wouldn't hang it myself, but it's probably a ribboner though.

best one I have seen so far. the color and exposure is odd, but does not distract negatively. good job. and the flexibility of the subject look painful.

i would assume that you rotated this, but some things indicate otherwise (ie: the pants hanging down). either way, nice looking shot. the shadows are of minor concern to me, although others might differ in opinion.

Not sure whether this is a handstand or a trick shot leaning far back against a wall.The layout is fantastic, colors are not too stark, sharpness is "bang-on" and it fits the challenge very well. Bumping up to a 6. Good luck!
