I'm sorry this did not do better.....it was one of my absolute favorites. I must vote different from others...on this challenge I realized that most of the " 10's" I gave out didn't make the top 20---neither do the photos I take!! Oh well....great photo!

This is a really nice shot. I had it pegged to do better than this.

My camera is really bad with CA where light colors are bumped against dark ones, such as those blue lines under his arms. What I do is select some of the discolored band, then click "Select Similar" a couple of times until all of the color I want to change is selected. Make sure no other parts of the photo are selected. Then copy and paste the selection into a new layer and add a hue adjustment layer that is grouped to it. Change the hue until it's in the same color band as his arms, then desaturate until the color almost blends in, then slide the light/dark bar left (dark) until the color blends in perfectly. PM me if you want more help. :-)

Thanks for all the comments, and they were all exactly on, this was definately over done, but I still love it! If nothing else, seems to have made a few smile!

Seems a bit oversharpened. Nice midair capture, cool idea, great expression.

Exposure is a bit off at top it seems but otherwise, fantastic! 8

superb capture! Absolutely adorable and great composition! Wow factor is way up there! Unfortunately, I find the use of neat image (or air brushing) wayyy too high on the skin. 8

Great leap, great expression, nearly great photo. Somehow there is insufficient clarity, maybe increasing contrast is all that is needed, but it appears that insufficient detail was captured. A 6.

great catch, good choice of shutterspeed, still maintaining slight movement, good angle of view. Crop is extremly tight, could use a bit more space.

Maybe taking it at another time would have improved it because the sky is too bright here...

Nice shot, but the background is far too bright. Where has the splashing water come from at bottom left of picture. It looks out of place.

Very well-captured. But loses a couple of points for the CA(?) under the arms and the over-sharpening.
