I don't know why this one didn't win. Still one of the best shots of the challenge. Congrats on the top 5.

Brilliant job capturing the water splash! I love this type of photo, and the background is really neat too!

Wow! Great shot at just the right moment. Too bad there's someone behind the main subject because that's a bit distracting, but still, great job. 7

Cool - nice capture. Great action, model and expression. Shutter speed just right to capture the water.Too bad the second person merges with the main model. Border does not help.

i might have moved out to include a little more of the splash, but it captures a great moment. the lighting is great- i know how harsh daylight can be, and this is great- nothing seems to be overexposed. good job

newspapers rarely use borders. Could have been a 10...9

The headline could use some work. It's kind of grim for the lighthearted photo that is supporting your 'story'. A better title would mention a human element. This would make a nice human interest shot so I can see it as a journalistic photo. It's a really good capture. I have no criticism of the photo except a minor nit about the other child who is discernable as a blur blur in the background. It distracts a bit from the simple background. Still, one of the best I've seen in this challenge.

One of my top three for this challenge. Great photo, great expression on the girl's face, great title/photo combo perfectly suited to this challenge. Great all around!

I love this one. The water movement is great and the expression on the girls face is wonderful. Very nicely done :)

Well, I think I just stumbled onto the blue ribbon winner. Absolutely fantastic stuff. If only the jaggies on her shoulder weren't there. No matter, I'm sure the original doesn't have them. 10, 10, 10.

FABULOUS!
This goes in order of what I notice first:
1) Would this appear in a newspaper? - Heck yeah! Perfect front page material.
2) Composition - Great background blur, but it shows that she's in a public place, which makes it seem not so posed. The horizontal crop/orientation is perfect for a paper.
3) Lighting - Great use of natural light.
4) I absolutely love the motion blur and capture of the water. Her expression is great.
5) I like how instead of showing the title litterally you showed how people are "fighting" the heat, I can just imagine this on the front page of a local paper and the article to go along.
Score: 10

GREAT hi-speed shot (isn't water cool to look at). Perhaps a little narrower depth of field would add some more impact (the background girl and text intrude a little).

I could totally see this photo on the front page of the paper or local section. This is high quality stuff. Good work and good luck in the challenge.
