Wonderful, fun shot. The title ties in with the theme of the challenge so well. Love the lighting, love the pose (how many times did you have to jump to get this?), love the creativity in so many of your photos, this one included.
DPC seems to be going down in my estimation - perhaps it's growing to large - looking at the top 20 I struggle to understand why shots as good as this are not 1st or 2nd.
wow...you have a contender here...super lighting....folks better watch out in the multiple light source challenge, this would have been a great entry there too.
(And I started to pass this one by) 10 if I could have voted
love it. great lighting. nice crisp focus. maybe a little shallow depth as the front foot is a little blurry, but no great loss there. I wonder how many of these you took before you got the one you wanted? ;) This should score well. P
Wonderful lighting, exposure and timing! Lighting gives it a very mysterious yet intense quality. With this subtle lighting - this is one case where the border has to go! I know it's just a thin line but your image with be better without it.
Great light - rear-threequarter angle is always effective, and a certain commendable confidence in not using any fill to assuage the crowd. room to breathe in the framing too. composition works, though not sure exactly why. 7
