Ahh, the human condition. And another good reason for wearing clothing. Well done. DOF was excellent and I hope you protected your camera from splashes. It may be that a polarizing lens would have helped that sky, but it continues (on 3rd look) to be well worth a 7.

You've captured a lot of action reall well. I'd only want the girl on the left to be clearer, but even so it's still good.

great action shot... I hope your camera survived without getting wet. (of course, zoom lens helps for that) Makes me want to know more.

Delightful capture. You really managed to catch the feeling of the event. Hope you didn't take the plunge WITH your camera. One of the best in the challenge.
