I like this photo. Incredible flexibility. I think that you should crop out a little of the top but that is just an opinion. Great texture and focus. Incredible subject. I only wish that I could bend like that without going to the emergency room.

While this looks like a static shot, you can see water droplets flinging off to the right. Interesting detail. 2000th of a second shutter speed makes it look like a still-life.

I really like the color balance and textures. Really good shot.

If it weren't for the pictures in the upper corners, I would have said it was unbalanced. But putting them there adds to the balance and shows more character to the subject.

The textures and focus are excellent. Great subject. You have captured a great moment.

This is my favorite photograph in this contest. The lighting and composition are engaging. The textures are outstanding. Clearly, this woman has been flexible her entire life. You have captured that implicitly. I really enjoy the story in your shot. Congratulations! You are the top pick.

This picture is not 100% in perfect focus. With a zoom lens, you would need a tripod and remote trigger to ensure no micro movement blur. Having said that. Wow! What a great action shot! Very difficult to capture at this distance. This shows human flexibility under extreme circumstances.

What an incredible composition. No doubt it was challenging. The background textures give the picture a sense of danger. Obviously, the flexibility in the subject is outstanding. Great concentration on her face as well as the right arm to balance the pose.

I love the lighting in this picture. Great form and composition. Good use of textures in the fabric and the background is a quality frame for the subject. You have captured a great example of the human form and flexibility.

This is clearly a man with his leg behind his head. I only wish that this was a wide shot so we could see more of the subject. Great color and textures here. Lots of character. Makes me want to visit Nepal.

Definitely a great photo. I only wish you had not cropped out a part of her left elbow. Perfect sharpness and color combinations with the white background. I really like this shot. If I were to do that I would have to go to the hospital. :D
