Slow shutter speed because its like a cave in there. Off camera flash consisted of ebay radio slaves and Sigma 500 super flash. Auto levels, contrast, resize and a sharpen later you have a DPC entry.

you had a great shot, just not a great 'challenge' shot. just a little too much for the voters to have to take in. also, if the overall coloring doesn't grab you, check it out b/w--that really made the difference for my shot. you might to also want to check out these shots of bradp's here.
excellent use of flash, but not keen on the background--too distracting. even though you were lower than the skater, it appears that you were standing up. probably could have made this more dynamic if you had been kneeling or laying down.
