And fast..
Beautiful image. At first and without reading the title, it made me think of a child and of the joy of running. So I found the contrast a bit disconcerting. Dark, harsh and less luminous than I would have liked. But then I finally realized the mood of the image, and it certainly works well.

I am wondering about the title and the shirt. Is he a baywatcher pre-emptively keeping her from venturing in the water by means of seduction? Surely the tone of the sea and the not too summerly outfit of the passers-by kind of divide the scene in two. The sheltered safety of the beach and the gray, moody sea. Or perhaps I am overthinking, still wonder about the tile though :)

This is either not HDR or an extremely subtle and effective use of it.
In any case, the result is an extremely pleasant, dreamy image, I love it, congratulations!

Beautiful landscape and a magic moment. Rreally well framed and angled, it strikes a pretty good good trade-off between local and general contrast, without dodge and burn excesses. I think the stray light actually adds to the mood of the image and the feeling of being up there.

Switzerland?
Excellent job, congratulations!

Haikido.. It's not easy to capture the spirit of a deceivingly effortless-looking art. I very much like that the main subject is a woman, as it highlights the fact that quiet focus and economy of movements are here far more important than muscles and aggressivity (not that I have not know women extremely effective at very aggressive sports, but anyway). I love the slow shutter speed here, and the stillness of the heads and the firm eye contact between the opponents, another distinctive feature of this art I think.
As for the thrower not being completely in focus, I see your point but also appreciate that the lower half of the body is perfectly still, again stressing the economy of movements and her firm stability.
You did a great job of capturing the faces, in my opinion.
The only thing I don't like is the background, but surely when capturing real action something has to give and an higher angle to exclude the wall would have not perhaps been that effective.

Sorry, I just stumbled itno this by chance and felt like commenting.
Well done.
