From a recent shoot of youths doing some break-dancing. This one youth was doing some flips off the wall and we endeavored to capture a few shots in flight.

Nice photo, and technically very well done. Good exposure, very good action capture.
I think what hurt you here is that it was not obvious enough as to what what going on. The title tells us that he is "falling up", which to me works for the far side. I'm beginning to think I remember on about falling up as opposed to falling down. Maybe it's just my imagination.
However, the subject isn't obviously falling up. I think the key word is obvious. Most voters spend much less than a minute per image. The story has to be told either qucikly or in a dramatic fashion so as to hold th interest untill the teller if finished. He looks like he is doing a flip, or falling down. His body language head positon, all are responding to normal gravity. So though the title says falling up, to many voters saw falling down, and some may never have even read the title.
