I am waaaaay to new to take an IN motion picture, let alone one in STOPPED motion - was fun none the less. This is a co-worker to knew I was having a hard time with this challenge. She volunteered, but after having to jump about 20 times before I could get a picture of her off the ground, she may be harder to recruit next time! :)

The photographer stopped the action, an important part of the picture was lost in her shadow. If that portion would have shown a clear separation from the roadway I fell it would have given the whole shot more definition. vertical lines of the trees conflict with the horizontal lines of the guardrail.
the shawdow conects with her leg, maybe shooting from a different angle at a different time of the day would have made the shadow a more dramatic aspect of this shot rather than a distraction.
Neat carefree motion. This would be a lot better with a different background. I think running down a hill or in a field captures the carefreeness much better than running down the highway.
Not only did you stop the motion, but you conveyed a sense of fun and joy with this photo. Would have rated it even higher if the exposure would have been more appealing. Looks like you took the photo in bright sunlight, which can be tough and demanding for any subject. Nice job.
