If you had nailed the main skaters pose and reduced the light on (or repositioned / removed) the woody at the back then I would have strongly believed this would make the top 3
Scored 6 would have been at least 8 with the pose and rear woody sorted.
great idea and good shot. I cant decide whether or not I like the little guy sitting in foreground or the one in the background. I really do like the shot but the composition is a bit off for my liking.
