The action is awesome. Too bad you included the split seam there. Still - a great capture!

Cool - will be interesting to see how you did this. And since it's advanced editing, I think you could have cloned where the fabric is slit at the base.

the little rip in the cloth is pretty distracting, not to mention the strings comming off of it, but the stopped action is pretty sweet

Great shot, but the rip in the fabric takes so much away.

I don't know how you captured this at the perfect moment and with such wonderful clarity. Very well done.

Very cool, great catch. The base area is pretty distracting. Other than that, well done.
