My daughter was swinging from a tree and jumping in the water, I followed her down and the best shot was this one when she hit the water.

Lovely capture, very surreal and dreamy - not surprised to see it got a posty Red ribbon, which is quite an honour. The water spraying up around her looks like wings and her bikini just gives a hint of the woman she is. Good use of technicals, but probably scored a bit lower as the voters tend to like bright poppy colours (and startling b/ws...go figure). The light looks a little flat, which would also hurt your score. This was an Advanced challenge; don't be afraid to use your pp skills so long as you stay within the parameters.
Overall a very nice shot, keep on shooting what you like and entering it!
Looking through this challenge I see a lot of folks got motion panning confused with motion blur. Aside from that the hand blur is the main thing that is catching my eye. What I like about it is the expression around the facial area appears to be dreamy and surreal.
