Shot at Sunset Cliffs. This is about a 30-40 foot drop into a small pool of ocean water. The girl in brown is a visitor and she just couldn't quite make the jump. After 15 minutes of hemming and hawing, the other girl grabbed her hand and said "Let's jump together". 30 seconds later, bingo.

This was one of my 10s in this challenge. I think it is such a fun shot and so very well taken. It's a shame that it didn't finish higher but even so, I'm really glad I got the chance to see it.
Rick, this soooo deserved a better score! Maybe your wife was right about the title...but the clarity and light and the frozen action and expressions...a wonderful shot you should be proud of
Great job! Deserves technical merit. An outstanding action shot, they look like they are hanging in mid-air. The shadows behind them on the rock adds alot to the photo. However, a water shot, or even a shoreline shot, does not always mean 'beach' in my opinion. And meeting the challenge, to me, is the first and most important thing, if that isn't done, then anything else is unimportant. Doesn't mean it's not a beautiful and creative shot, because in this case, it absolutely is! I do love it! I went back and forth on how to score your pic, but I do vote low for those that I don't think meet the challenge, so to be consistant, I am voting this lower than I want for the reasons stated above.
This is a great shot! The image reeks of action and anticipation. Beautifully cropped and crystal clear - late afternoon shot with the shadows adding to the story. Just great!
Looks like fun, exhilarating. This would be awesome without the shadows of the girls (just a bit distracting), nice low-lighting for good skin tones. I gotta say I don't care for the title but no matter in voting.
that's a fantastic moment in time! great creative title...I wonder how it would have looked if you had their complete shadows on the rock...great capture, good luck
