You've probably heard this already but this is way to small to evaluate. The subject seems to meet the challenge but I can't really tell much else about the photo at this size. My hunch is that the ladder in the foreground should have been eliminated by approaching the shot from slightly different angle of view--a bit more to the left. My eye is immediately drawn to it to no purpose.
Very staged in appearance. The sky in the middle background is blown out. Maybe if you had composed the shot 3 step to the left getting the trees in the background?
This picture is too small. Pics should be as close to allowable size as possible or too much detail is lost to be able to judge the photo. Like the concept though.
As soon as I saw this challenge - this was the shot I had in mind. It's a great idea. You need to learn to resize for the challenges. It's a good idea, but it's going to get marked down for being too small. Do a search on the site - there are lots of forum entries regarding how to properly size entries.
It may be presumptious, but welcome to DPC! Keep the imagination flowing!
This could be so much better. Its a very good idea. Crop distracting background, trees, lampost, overexposed sky. Zoom in on atheletes. Take from a different perspective, e.g. from their backs with the blue waters forming most of the picture.
