With the camera on a tripod, my daughters did a few cartwheels. Each one took about 2 seconds, using up about 5 shots at 2.4 fps.The tripod meant the background didn't change during each cartwheel, which took a couple of seconds.Sinec I shot at 2.4 fps, the background never changed from shot to shot. I used the leftmost shot as the "base" layer and layer masks on the other two shots to them on top.
I cloned out a a couple of girls far away in the upper left.
Other than that, standard editing: sharpening each pic individually, a soft light layer to darken her skin and jeans a bit, crop, resize.

Wonderful image. I really like it. One thing, maybe making the lines kind of a transparency if that makes sense? That way you can still see the lines but see the image itself. The white still seems stark.
However, terrific shot. I love the action. The whole idea is wonderful and the individual frames you captured are spot on.
I like how you carried her tumbling movement across the frames - for the subject of cartwheels that was a very nice touch. I think sometimes with "progress"-type triptychs the framing can have the effect of periods when they should be more like commas - what you did with the framing here made them into commas (if what I just said makes any sense at all let me know!).
I didn't vote on this one but I think it would have made a seven from me. If I had to nitpick at a detail then it would be the way the shadow is falling across the back of her leg in the centre shot. Otherwise fun and dynamic, good use of the trip.
Really like how you let the photos overlap the border. That ties the panels together really well, and the obvious continuity of action is strengthened nicely.
