The textures and form of the man on the left is wonderful. Great composition and a very creative take on this challenge.

I find it very unfortunate that that boat is in your shot and distracts from all that this shot has to offer, the light in the 'splash' is fabulous, the composition of the surfer and his 'frozen position' are really excellent. Good capture.

This is a lovely shot, the horse and rider, despite their movement are in great focus, the background is not distracting and the dust is really great!! I love how it adds to the movement of the shot. The 'open' mouth of the horse is a good detai as is the tail and mane sticking up.

Shame they had to build those buildings in the midst of such a pristine location. Would like to see it cropped over the buildings, see the mountains and sky, the light on the mnt. is the fabulous part of your shot IMO. Good clouds too.

Well, i think the idea of it was good (fitting challenge) and the lighting on the words is good also. I guess if I have to be critical about it overall my thought would be, that photography is 'visual' in a shot that requires 'reading' the observer to ' get it' in some ways to me it loses the essence of 'image'. Perhaps adding a visual dimension reflecting the words.
