Great contest!

Your editing on this one is magical. All the elements in the water going on simultaneously. Whether photoshopped or not, it captures the eyes and makes one study the image for a while. It would have been nice to see a longer description.

An amazing shot! The sharpness and speed of the shot captures the perfection of nature in its finest moment! You can see the determination of the Osprey to hold on to its next meal! And I can see the speed and wetness of the environment. I hope this photo is framed and hanging on your (or someone's) wall!

The grit and determination of the rider as he hangs on to the team of bulls and make it to the end of the course is evident as is the determination of the animals to move as fast as they can!

Nice shot and nice edit! I wish the metadata was attached. The intensity of the surfer as he contemplates his demise is evident! You can just see what he may be thinking as he reaches top height and looks to where he will land!

I love the determination on the faces, captured so wonderfully. I wish you had left the metadata attached and described the image better! I gather they were racing, at least racing each other! A stronger description might have pulled off a win!

The motion in this freestyle shot is captivating. I imagine the driver completed his stunt, but the element of wondering if he crashes keeps the eyes rooted to the image waiting for the inevitable downfall of the success of the move! Wish we could see a longer description!

Porpoising penguins are so much fun to watch! Your capture is perfect and your editing is right on! It would have been fun to see more info like the build up story behind your location where this image was shot.

A great capture! The determination of the dog to successfully bring the ball home is evident! And your editing of shadows and highlights is on point! It's almost as if he is racing the waves to get on shore first!

With the angle of this image, you bring the viewer right into the surfers world and we can see the excitement the surfer is experiencing as he shoots through the curl of the towering wave and we all want to know if he will make it out the other side!

Nice control of light and shadow! Editing is spot on! The speed is evident as is the wetness! I love how you cropped it to show that the skier seems to be traveling right out of the frame! Great shot!

Nice capture. I wish you had left the metadata attached so we could see your shooting parameters! A telephoto flash would have shown the riders eyes and would have placed this photo even higher in the rankings! But over all, a great shot!

You captured the excitement and happiness in the children's faces in this shot! Your editing and control of shadows and highlights is spot on! I only wish you had described what we are seeing in your description! An absolutely phenomenal shot, for sure!

One can see the emotion on the riders face as he navigates through the river crossing. No thought is given except to successfully get across the river and not lose position in the race or get stuck and fall down.

Your editing and control of highlights and shadows is perfect! The intensity of the surfers expression as he estimates the wave he is in speaks wonders! You can tell he is calculating his next move to prolong his ride! Great Capture!

I love the expression on this skiers face as she makes this turn. The dynamic wall of water that she casts in the air makes a perfect backdrop for this image. You can see her struggle to keep her ski positioned just right!

The determination on the face of this rider is apparent as he emerges from the wake he is creating. You can see that he is calculating his next move as he navigates his way on the course he is competing on!

I do not know what this vehicle is nor what kind of a race it is competing in. But the effort to show Fast and Wet is quite successful! A description of the action would augment this image and make it much more interesting!

A really nice shot especially from a film scan! Very nice work! I love the juxtaposition of the action and the colorful boards on the tropical waters. Add the floating anchored boats for a perfect image to advertise a tropical getaway!

The drama of watching the dog do what dogs do best is intriguing to see. Will he catch it? Will he miss? One wants to see the next frame to find out! Oh the suspense builds as the ball drops!

I love how the water is thrown into chaos as the car slips and slides through the turn. One has to wonder if the driver has entered the turn at a greater speed than he can handle and will he be successful?

The expression on this competitors face is precious as a look of victory of completing a section of the competition. The competitor appears to be sliding into a finish line of sorts. I wish there was a more lengthy description to go with it!

This trustworthy steed takes its rider through the course under the riders direction. Both the horse and the rider show a look of determination as they navigate across the water and back onto the grass. Well done! I wish a better description accompanied the title!

The action of these children as they play and run about in the pool is mesmerizing to watch! The child attempting to leap out of the pool at the camera has a precious expression and it grabs the viewers eye!

Are these Camargue Horses? A great capture! I wish you had described this in more detail! Your editing and control of highlight and shadows is perfect! The intensity of these horses is well displayed as they rush towards the camera!
