One of my top three for this challenge. Great photo, great expression on the girl's face, great title/photo combo perfectly suited to this challenge. Great all around!

I love this one. The water movement is great and the expression on the girls face is wonderful. Very nicely done :)

Well, I think I just stumbled onto the blue ribbon winner. Absolutely fantastic stuff. If only the jaggies on her shoulder weren't there. No matter, I'm sure the original doesn't have them. 10, 10, 10.

FABULOUS!
This goes in order of what I notice first:
1) Would this appear in a newspaper? - Heck yeah! Perfect front page material.
2) Composition - Great background blur, but it shows that she's in a public place, which makes it seem not so posed. The horizontal crop/orientation is perfect for a paper.
3) Lighting - Great use of natural light.
4) I absolutely love the motion blur and capture of the water. Her expression is great.
5) I like how instead of showing the title litterally you showed how people are "fighting" the heat, I can just imagine this on the front page of a local paper and the article to go along.
Score: 10

GREAT hi-speed shot (isn't water cool to look at). Perhaps a little narrower depth of field would add some more impact (the background girl and text intrude a little).
