Okay, I didn't see this one while I was voting. This is the second time I see this happen. Not to complain about the winner b/c she did a good job. But honestly the photo was a bit cheesy. I guess that's what the people on this site like, b/c time after time the cheesiest most cliche image wins.
Your photo is PERFECT, I think i have only given out one 10 so far. I give you a 10 gladly. The movement, the expression, the compostion, the DOF, all on point. You colored the shirt which was a perfect choice. It draws attention to the exact point of interest and compliments the image perfectly. you did a wonderful job, really. In my mind your photo took the blue ribbon. I give up on this site and the consistent voting for cheesy and cliche images. Congrats.
My #1 pick for this challenge. Excellent capture and love the dark tones of this shot. Your timing is exquisite, capturing this athlete in a very interesting moment. Your choice of crop also compliments the shot very nicely.
Wow I can hear the sound of her hitting the dirt. If I close my eyes I can see her running up to the starting line, hear her gasp as her muscles launch her up into the air, see her stretch for the distance, then...

Great subject and job with the desaturation. Possibly some dodging of the sand, or burning of the background may have helped create a little more contrast and emphasis on the subject. Nice photo nonetheless..... 7
I like the tonal qualities of this image and also the way you have captured the action. The red top just adds that little bit of impact and gives the image a lift.
Nice work
Fantastic capture! Such detail and clarity. The pop of red really makes the shot. I just wish there was a little more of the jumper and a little less of the sand but then there was probably not much you could do about that. :) Overall it is one of my favorites and you did a great job!
