Philippe Halsman photographed many movie stars and celebrities using JUMPOLOGY, his style of jump photography.

Take your own color or B/W photograph capturing the subject in the act of jumping. Basic editing

I still can't believe you have a brown ribbon for this one... It's just not logical... this result belongs to the Matrix, where logic rules can be bent :P

From the challenge description: Make the sky the subject of your photo this week.

Anyone who thinks the sky's even remotely the subject of that photo is out of their mind :-) So, major DNMC right there. Then add to that the people who hammered it for attempting to sway the voters with utterly gratuitous sex appeal (and I'm sure there were a LOT of those), and you have a recipe for brown. This is a surprise to you, Leo? C'mon...!

Actually it is a surprise for me but not the things above you said but because of the quality of the photo. I mean DNMC and sex things aside, I would assume it would get "some" points for the technicality of it. Clear, crisp, nice colors, lights...

I'd go at least 10 photos back before I see anything close technically.

Approximately half the votes on that image were 5 or higher. They sure as heck weren't scoring on challenge relevance, so they must've been scoring exactly what you're describing. That, plus sex appeal I assume. I start going backwards from there and practically every shot in the lower reaches of the challenge is at least on-topic, except this one....

So, what I've learned is that you can mix irreverence with sex appeal, but don't dare DNMC with sex appeal. :)
The first will get you a top 10, the second a brown :)

Halsman froze his subjects, and is likely what voters would look for.
But, whatever you imagine is fair game: long shutter speed with motion blur, fast shutter speed to freeze the moment...

One man's logic is another man's total depravity!
