This has front page written on it. Very nicely done. Could be a bit brighter in my opinion, but it is still an awesome shot. 9.

Amazing shot, not only for the obviously interesting/thrilling action but also for the lighting which for me is the really impressive part. With such deft lighting skills I'd be tempted to shout "Larus" but I'm way too new around here to be starting to guess (and there's no snow!). The lighting on the subjects face in the three frames you can see it is amazing. The exposure for the most part is well handled with so much DoF and crazy shadowing - and I can see why you've underexposed to accentuate the rider. Is there any tone mapping in the foreground? Is that a speedlte behind the mound? Teach me your skills!! Anyhow..congrats on a brilliant photo.

Very nice. As I'm scoring this challenge, I'm asking myself: Would one of these frames be a good photo, or is it an unappealing photo that is time lapsed?

The setup and processing of this photo stands on it's own. Nicely done.
