I just loved this kid at the dog beach tossing tennis balls for the dogs to fetch. He put all he had into each throw. I like his motion and that he got off the ground.

This is extraordinary. I meant to say that earlier. The sheer determination of it, the awesome raw power of the athleticism, and all this from what, a 6-year old? Kid's gonna grow into a hell of an athlete... I gave you an 8.
Sadly the score isn't as good as the image, mostly I suspect because in a stopped motion challenge the blurred motion of the ball really took points away for the DNMC sticklers. It probably would have done better in F.S. I love the energy you got in this image, but I wish you could have isolated the kid more (framing out the bystanders, shooting from lower down ect.) and really made him look heroic.
Good choice. I think with the color version the kid, the ball and whatever that thing is he's using to throw the ball, all stand out and enhance the picture.
