 These guys were taking part in a 'bird man' challenge. They basically end up jumping into a river, the idea being to clear the river and win a £1000 prize. Needless to say they didn't make it.

Too bad this isn't a video of the performance, I'm sure it's funny! as a photo, it's a bit busy and hard to make out what's going on.

I bet the rest of that action was even funnier than this shot :-)

Fun image here and well isolated from the background by the depth of field.
One problem though. I don't see the connection to the challenge.
Remove the title and it doesn't stand a chance, which a good image should be able to stand on it's own, without explanations or saying why it should fit a challenge.

Nice colors and focus, but it completely title dependent and the photograph doesn't connect with me in any way for the challenge. Sorry.

Really cute take on the challenge.. but without the title this shot just doesn't scream Reduce, Reuse, Recycle to me..IMO. 5

Love the audience expressions. I wonder if you took a shot of them in focus (I don't mean for this challenge).

very funny shot - but a bit of a 'title makes the image' shot - well captured with all the great faces in teh background - but still a bit of a stretch in my book...
