Amazing photo - can't criticize the photo itself, but it'll likely get marked down for being off-subject (I can't see the mutually beneficial partnership)

Looks a bit oversharpened, but a REALLY good catch. I like the composition focusing on the water instead of the person.

Awesome action shot here thats for sure, but not to sure about being partners. Maybe a stretch for me, to really suit the challenge, but gee, it is really a great shot.

Awesome capture! Fascinating. Not sure about the "mutually beneficial" part, though. Still, 9.

Just wanted to say that the scoring system here is a mystery to me. Your photo should have finished at the top of the list, for so many obvious reasons. Scoring on your photo and others I've liked for their expertise and artistic value is all over the place; it makes no sense to me.
I'm disappointed in my own scores too, although they aren't in the same ball park as yours, or the others I've commented on here. I've decided to quit DPC after a year and a half of this kind of negativity and just take pictures for my own satisfaction... good, bad, or otherwise.
Best of luct to you in your future work, for what it's worth, I think it's outstanding.

Cool. Great action and sharpness and definately water. I love that the perspective also captures the kick water. This is among my favorites inthis challenge. (I'm always impressed with people who can butterfly well)

just enough frozen to show details, just enough blurred to show the dynamics.
