Definitely less is more. The details you show express the action.

Racing for the finish

Nice shot, but why so small? I suspect that a larger picture would give a better idea of the expression on the cyclist's face, details of the bike, etc.

The overall size of this picture is too small to really see it, and the main subject doesn't take up enough of it. A tighter crop and a larger size would help a lot, especially since it seems like you caught the action well. (There's a reason why all the books and tip sites tell you to shoot maximum resolution, then cut the resolution later to suit the situation).

Great timing, and the flying water helps make the shot.

Ghostly Hands

Interesting lighting and motion to give the ghostly effect. I'm assuming it is legit, and I hope you'll explain how it was done after the challenge closes. I think this shot would be more effective if it were larger.

Great action and composition, but the subject is too dark. The audience is perfectly exposed, but that's not who this picture is about.

Beautiful bird shot, but the subject was supposed to be action. This guy looks like he's standing still and posing.

I think calling this an action shot is kind of a stretch.
