I love the feeling of action and movement in this photo. Interesting take on the challenge, if someone didn't agree with the title connection to ten they can always say there's ten toes in it! I like the perspective. I think the composition is good in that it has an "in your face" feel so the viewer is right where the action is and the background certainly helps promote the suburbia the title references. I think a different placement for the feet, apart with the knees bent in a more "surfer" pose might help the composition along. I think a bit crisper focus on the feet and skateboard would be good and I'm not sure that the white balance and/or exposure is the best because the whole image is bit dull colorwise. I gave 5.
On the first 15 pictures I see, I'm looking for a full 30 seconds and leaving a comment...the capture is techincally well done. You capture a nice motion blur while keeping the subject very sharp. Kudos for that. The lighting is nicely done in the morning or evening. The composition is nice, although if I could really change anything I don't like the trees. They don't appeal to me with their semi-sillouette. 7
