The parachuter seems to be lacking detail. Not sure if this was deliberate or not but I do find myself wanting to see more of him (her?)

A tough shot due to the harsh lighting and positioning of the sun vis-a-vis the subject. And yet a really cool shot despite these challenges.

LOL @ your title! :) Nice and sharp on that hippo's eye, too.

A good image that suffers from over darkened subject against a rather flat sky. From an artistic standpoint, it is an intersting image but of less than universal appeal. A good entry into the challenge.

On first review, this image came across as a little under exposed, but on comment review, it would appear that it is perfectly exposed with a couple of minor issues with over done highlights. A good solid action shot that exposing the myth of hippos being jolly animals with good dispositions. A worthy entry into the challenge. A suggestion for the future would be to use a little more light control and go with area metering rather than spot metering which is usually the problem with an image that has highlights like this.
