Great capture. All the cables and cars and buildings in the background do not bother me. Yes, it's that effective! I love that you chose to go B&W. You get a 9/10.

Oh boy! The only reason this is not getting a 10 from me is because of the cropped head. Everything else is just perfect... may be a little zooming out would have helped pull in the splash more. 8/10.

I do not understand the title, especially the 'gone' reference. Regardless, this is a hard to capture image, I respect that. I like the spirit of it. 8/10.

I do not know if this is the raw color scheme of this image, but I really do love it this way. There are leading lines, although not prominent. There is blur, but that is expected. Good job! 8/10.

This is like a painting. the guy cut-off in the corner is a slight distraction, but not enough to take away the story you are telling. What sharpness, what DOF. Bravo my friend!

At a glance, I thought this is another ordinary shot. But looking at it closely, I can tell how technically difficult if must have been, with you lying so close to the dude in action. And you got a perfect angle, great composition. 9/10.

Oh what would I not give to capture a moment like this. Super, my friend! My only complain is about the lack of details towards the right bottom corner, but I understand this is a basic editing challenge and it will be hard to get both ends of spectrum in perfect balance with the allowed editing steps.

You get a 9 from me.

Here I come, ready or not!

This is -not- an extraordinary picture technically. But it has personality. And that's exactly why it gets a 9 from me. Well done!

This picture should be used as an example in teaching people about how to compose and capture good pictures, before they go into mega pixel and color-vividity battle.

Excellent job! One of my top 10s in this challenge.
