The sky is pixellated and noisy, the silhouette is over sharppened and there are jpeg artifacts all over. Nice image, but I think it had to be tweaked too much.

Great image. IMO it could use some noise reduction on it and some sharpening, but I really like what I see. 7

Nice capture and composition. Everything seems a bit too soft.

Subject and composition is interesting but focus and quality of capture seems pretty poor. Suggesting to use tripoid if you have for night shoting.

i like this idea, as far as editing the colors of the sky appear very jagged and there is an oversharpened looking outline of the guy thats strange. The colors are interesting and it does fit the challenge.

Looks kinda noisy... It has it all, but it lacks in quality. 6

Compression artifacts seem a little severe. This is a fun shot - I like the way the background palms almost create a semi-circular arena around the jester. The shape of his body in motion, isolated in the air, works well.

I like this shot!
Good luck...

is bedouins hacky sack?

great capture of an interesting model. Several things that i am noticing are:
artifacts (compression?) around the model and the trees,
centered subject,
strange, perhaps oversaturated colors around the bases of the palms,
and vignetting (dark corners)

The artifacts are strange looking and detract from the photo. You coud try resizng less, but i don't really know what went wrong without looking at your editing steps. I don't really think the centeredsubject works. Well, it works, but i think that it would work better a little bit to the right. the oversaturated colors may have been a result of too much post processing. The vignetting, though, works for me. it draws my eyes into the middle. Overall, wondrful combination of action and lanscape, and good luck with it. 9

Good job but watch out of the noise in the B/G
