A moment in time... only happened once and it's never coming back. It's not the pose that makes it seem that way to me... it's the shadow. It's like everything, including the sun, has conspired to make this moment exist. And you captured it. 10 from me.
I like this. Different from everything else i've seen so far (which i'm all about). I do think it needs a bit of a curves adjustmnent to make it more lively, but as it is, be proud.
cool stop action and shadow! I think a nice square crop getting rid of a lot of the foreground would have made this image even better, as it would have put more of the girl and her shadow in to play and got rid of space that I don't think adds to the action. I still really like it, the light is beautiful and lots of energy.
Good but in the FS comp not close to a ribbon.
Would have like to see her face, maybe step a few feet to the left. Nice shadow, but probably not spotted by many people.
