yes, the rock from which Joyce flew (I cannot call it a jump really :)) was a problem for basic editing (tiny people in the background do not bug me as much). Of course I could crop it out completely from the bottom, but that would crop out the beach as well, and I wanted to show the amazing height of the flight. In the hindsight, I should have taken my flash off camera and lit her from the right to bypass the rock... oh well. But given what I had I just should not have submitted it for this challenge (I did not shoot it specifically for the challenge anyway).

Doh! I forgot about the challenge topic nazis. All you had to do was hit the hue adjustment and make everything purple. tsk tsk. :) Still one of my fav's in the challenge. The light & shadows on her features are awesome.
wow... this has the potential to be a very cool image. the (what is assume to be a) rock on the bottom left this very distracting, as are the people in the background.
This at La Jolla? Looks familiar... Helluva leap. Wish the rock on the left were not there or were burned down, which of course you can't do in basic. The guy on the cliff in the BG is a problem too...
Beautifully done! I believe that cropping out just about the people in the background would get rid of several distractions and bring focus on your stunning model. 7
Nice shot in (what appears to be) La Jolla, not voting in this challenge but you know how fickle the masses can be...They may ding you for not enough purple. Still and excellent shot.
Love the light. And good capture too. The people in the background are a bit of a distraction. Think this would look really cool if she was just set against the sky, with no rocks or other background. 6
