This shot rocks! I'm not sure I can add much to what has alredy been said, other than it's a shot I wish I had taken. Wait, someone already DID say that... Ah well, good job! 'Nuff said.
Great shot Slippy. I added it to my favorites and you to my favorite photographers. And I didn't do it in protest because some people are making such a big deal over your stunt. ;)
This image spells great excitement with its visual strength. A truly mean entry with the potential to have moved right into the winning circle of three.
This is a classic almost perfect shot! Did you use selective desat in it or are those the natural colors with just a splash of blue here and there? It looks almost b/w. I love the skewed perspective. It actually adds to the overall effect. When I say almost perfect though, I mean you need to have either more motion blur with all the people kinda smudged into the shot or you need the person in front to be crisp. As it is, I keep finding my eye landing on the foreground person and going 'oh to bad he's blurred a tad'. I don't know if you could get all the subjects motion blurred though being such a deep shot. Kudo's on your DOF!

Quite like a stock shot ( I mean that as a compliment ). The blurry chap on the left conveys a sense of bustle and purposefulness. Everything is sharp and well exposed.
I'm not a fan of the tilt, however leading lines work well, the motion blur on man bottom left works well and little touches of red improve the whole a bit in an otherwise bland composition
