Shot at Sunset Cliffs. This is about a 30-40 foot drop into a small pool of ocean water. The girl in brown is a visitor and she just couldn't quite make the jump. After 15 minutes of hemming and hawing, the other girl grabbed her hand and said "Let's jump together". 30 seconds later, bingo.

This was one of my 10s in this challenge. I think it is such a fun shot and so very well taken. It's a shame that it didn't finish higher but even so, I'm really glad I got the chance to see it.

Rick, this soooo deserved a better score! Maybe your wife was right about the title...but the clarity and light and the frozen action and expressions...a wonderful shot you should be proud of

I mentioned this shot to my wife, her feeling was it should have been entitled Thelma and Louise......

another perspective.

Great job! Deserves technical merit. An outstanding action shot, they look like they are hanging in mid-air. The shadows behind them on the rock adds alot to the photo. However, a water shot, or even a shoreline shot, does not always mean 'beach' in my opinion. And meeting the challenge, to me, is the first and most important thing, if that isn't done, then anything else is unimportant. Doesn't mean it's not a beautiful and creative shot, because in this case, it absolutely is! I do love it! I went back and forth on how to score your pic, but I do vote low for those that I don't think meet the challenge, so to be consistant, I am voting this lower than I want for the reasons stated above.

The title is the icing on the cake here! Great catch!

Nice stop-motion capture. The title doesn't thrill me though - good think I'm not rating that.

This is a great shot! The image reeks of action and anticipation. Beautifully cropped and crystal clear - late afternoon shot with the shadows adding to the story. Just great!

This shot really stands out from all the sunsets. Your timing on this shot was perfect. The facial expressions alone make this image a 10.

Looks like fun, exhilarating. This would be awesome without the shadows of the girls (just a bit distracting), nice low-lighting for good skin tones. I gotta say I don't care for the title but no matter in voting.

Wish you would have opened the frame up to include the complete shadow of the blonde person. Still a nice photo.

This is really fun! I like their shadows as well...maybe all of the shadow in the image :)
