Well, I think he's safe, but that looks like it hurt. Great action catch

Nice lighting and exposure. Slim Jim frame is very effective for this image.

Great action shot! I like how you caught the ball just as it was popping out of control.

Good advice! This is certainly extraordinary. The photo seems a bit flat; lightening the midtones with Levels or Curves might help.

maybe less crop on the right...to show the extent of the flame...

Beautiful. This is one of the best sports pictures I have ever seen. It ranks with the polo pictures in this contest. A 10.

The BEST sports shot in the contest so far - best by a LONG shot! I don't generally appreciate baseball photos, but this is excellent! 8

Two challenges in a row, this chap will be charging DPC modeling fees soon! I think the crop is a little tight on this shot, and I would have liked to see a little blur in the wheels, or something to show the movement. I assume he is moving as the flames on the stacks are going backwards in this shot, and weren't in the newspaper challenge. A slower shutter speed maybe..
