Comment by Swashbuckler:
The clarity is good, but maybe a little over-sharpened. I'm guessing, but maybe this was cropped a little too much. 6 Rob the Swash

Very nice shot. An intersting use of the action and light. Good focus too. [7]

great effects with the water, but what made the splash? and what's with the title?

Good picture but the backround is distracting.

Comment by FranziskaLang:
Two 'B's, challenge definitely met. I appreciate that you just had to capture the moment ... the expressions would be gone afterwards. You framed them quite well for it, and the colors are nice. Looks like you used neatimage or something to despeckle, the whole image has a 'missing texture' kind of feel to me. Also, since you already cropped close, I would've cropped just a little more on the right to get the cut off pole (?) out of the image altogether. Last but not least, the lady walking into the little boy's shoulder is a bit distracting, but again, if that was the only moment to take the shot, then there's nothing you can do.

I'm glad this placed well, but surprised it does not have a blue ribbon. A really marvelous shot, well composed, and other elements (diagonal lines) that reall add to the drama. I love the colors, too. Super work!

Looks quite soft and lacks of detail.
