The colors hint at wrong exposure settings. A faster shutter speed could've reduced the blur.

Nice timing, especially with the time delay on most digicams!!

Something about the colors in this make it look like an older print photograph -- like they've faded and altered with a little time -- I couldn't explain why it looks that way to me, but I like it. I can tell it's motion blur up by the feet, but other part's of the vaulter simply look out of focus -- I think going either direction with shutter speed would contribute to the picture overall. A slower one to create more blur, and a faster one to create less.

somewhat over sharpened, but i like it, it gives it a painting type feel.

A fair catch, but a faster shutter would have worked better here, IMO. A little motion blur is sometimes a good thing, but the only things sharp here are the lower end of the pole and the crossbar. Tell her to watch the grip on that left hand. Did you prefocus on the crossbar?

would have been cool if the person had been at all in focus

A little faster exposure would have stopped those feet. Pretty good shot, high degree of difficulty! Photo 8 Creativity 8 Upsidedown 9 total 8

Nice idea and perfect timing but the focusing just isn't sharp enough to make it work.
