A simple dislocation

This is one of those "Huh?" photos that has me running all the possibilities I can imagine through my head to try to sort out the How? before the voting ends and your comments become available. If this was a double-exposure using some sort of 'barn door' to cover half the lens at a time, kudos for posing and masking for the shots! If it was done by another means ... well, I can't wait to read about them!

Nice subtle use of DOF to keep the other kids very slightly clear while maintaining good focus on the subject. Here's hoping the injury that leaves her(?) out of action is soon healed and little more than a memory. Assuming the toning was meant to be in keeping with the 'mood' intended, I think you could have given it just a bit more contrast without losing the message. All in all, well done.

This one gets marks for both execution and its chuckle factor! Well exposed and perhaps an otherwise ordinary snapshot, the caption coupled with the view and its universal appeal to the Born Loser in all of us raises it well above average. Great idea!

I'm late to the party but want to extend my congratulations on your ribbon! Wonderful shot with just the right placement. I see from the other comments that this is a first ribbon -- all the more reason to be ecstatic! Gotta feel good !!

The only thing "wrong" with this photo so far as I can tell is that it's superior to mine ... and that about says it, one would think. ~~ bowing meekly ~~

Sometimes, the setting is out of our control -- and especially when it's person "A" looking at a photo taken by person "B". I wasn't there and haven't a clue what's ahead of or behind your subject(s). I can *wish* there were more room on the left and less room on the right, but alas, it's just as I see it here and as I see it, it's strikingly well presented. Perhaps just a little sharper than some might like but size restrictions do play a part here as well. Good luck with this ... it's well deserved.

Okay .. I'm stumped. I sit here wanting to 'contribute' and comment in some useful way. I can't. Dammit. This is too good and that's that ... *sigh*

Borders generally don't do much for me .. but as I look at this again, it dawns on me that without the border, I wouldn't like it so much. Oh, I'd still like it -- the exposure is technically very nicely done and the details nicely evident despite the small size. What strikes me is that the border -- particularly the pale line that separates the ground from the border proper -- supports and holds the subject neatly within the frame. Deliberate or accidental ... it works and complements the subject extremely well. An already fine image is elevated by its inclusion and that's a great touch!
