Great stop action! Your lighting/exposure/DOF/etc are all perfect! Clean, crisp black background is very nice for this shot! His shirt looks too wet for this 'stage' of the splash. Makes me wonder how many shots to get it the way you wanted it! I can't think of anyway to improve, you have done it all so well. Good luck in the challenge!

An interesting light setup, but I am not sure the composition suits them; I don't think this is a good way to satisfy the rule of thirds.

My favorite so far in this challenge. Excellent idea, well executed. Like the lighting and composition. Well Done - 10 :-)

Well, to me, it matters little with an image like this, whether the light (underside of right arm) appears to orignate from an artificial light source (when compared to the daylight (?) evident on the subject's face), nor can I hold my attention long enough to consider any details of composition or length of exposure (which would effect the preception of the water -jet-).

It's a great timed capture and a wonderful snapshot with good focus, good lighting for the purpose and without any distracting or redundant inclusions. The moment is banned perfectly and hilariously.

It ain't art, but certainly a wonderful fun shot, any fine arts photographer would be a fool to pass up! ;-)

One of my highest rated, I like this very much in spite of the fact that it seems "set up". I was kind of looking for "real" surprises, but this is just so good. Composition, lighting, and general overall look are great, and it does get the point of the challenge across.
