You should've won! This is the best shot of the challenge. Well, certainly the stupidest. I love it! I love the idea, and it made me laugh.

Congrats on a top ten! This is a great shot and that is one mean looking machine you're riding! Now get off, it's that other kids turn. ;-)

This was such a joy to come across in the challenge.
What really made this was the angle and body language - adds the serious effort feel to it.
Great to see someone having fun in the land of too much serious.

This is a great idea. A bit too bright overall which makes it feel a little washed out, and the horizon leveled off could have balanced it nicely and given the rider an even sharper lean. Still made me laugh. Gave you a 7.

This is a great concept! A tighter crop may have given it more intensity.

I love his intensity... not to mention the get-up! I don't know whether the yellow highlights on his clothes are an artifact of increased yellow saturation, but I like'em. One of my top scorers :)

Yes! It's stupid, but also awesome. It actually looks almost like the turtle is taking a corner.

Intense with lots of drama.

This is a funny concept. To improve it in my opinion, I think I would have shot it when the light was not so harsh i.e. early in the morning or after 5:30pm. I also would have tried to get a shallower depth of field so only the person and the thing he is riding is in focus and the background is out focus. This can be achieved with a bigger aperture or longer focal length.

very funny, I like the idea, but I don't like the yellow wall or the yellow highlights on the jacket.
