Gipo, I did not see it this way when I voted, but you are right: according to the challenge description, your photo fits. Anyway, as I commented earlier I like your photo and I did not score it too low. :-)

However... I satisfy myself... next time it will be better...
Now this one is a different take on the challenge that works. Most (me included don't have much content in the bg but this one works to show the subjects height the spectators below give it the wow. Good concentration on his face. The right hand position isn't good though because its right in the middle of that ladder. I would crop a tiny bit off the top to get rid of the persons legs though. great capture. 8

Excellent work. I'm not a big fan of the limited DOF for this shot, but it doesn't really detract from the image either. Your negative space definitely adds the impact that this photo needs. Nice job.
A striking picture. It's a pity his left hand is out of focus. I'm just not sure it fits with the challenge. Perhaps it would have worked if the ground was out of focus.
