The motion is great and the chosen lighting really brings it out very well. I like the way the model is low down in the frame with lots of negative space above, to show the distance fallen, but I am not sure the shape of the image overall works well for me.
In terms of content this is very powerful for me as I have vertigo. Once upon a time I was commuting home from work and the escalators at Tottenham Court Road tube station were closed. The spiral staircase there is particularly deep and I just froze half way down, with that strong feeling that I was about to fall. I was stuck there for several minutes until a sympathetic man stopped and asked if he could help me down by walking very slowly infront of me. Uugh. |

| You captured the motion perfectly, but this isn't effective, imho, using a wooden model. There's no emotional connection. |

| good concept, nice motion blurr. you met the challenge in an interesting way. I can still see remnants of a hand or something behind it - the black is not completely black. Also it is cropped in such a way, that the image is not balanced - meaning you need more on the left and bottom. There is tiny bit of colour noise present - did you considered running this as b&w... |

| falling...one of the worst kind of nightmares. you did a good job with this. I had given it a 6 but after taking another look I think you did a fine job. Good contrast and great body position with the doll. The blur really adds nice movement to it as well. good luck 8 |

| That can be a nightmare for most and good motion capture but I think I would have liked this shot better with a different background or if you could have captured it from above, which would probably be very hard to do. |

| The 'man' works well with a black bckgrnd. You did well with the long exposure, to give sense of falling. Nice work! |

| Aaaaaaaaaaaagh! (I'm sure that's what this little guy would be saying). Nice motion blur and effective composition. |

| Interesting, and nice application of motion blur. However, I don't think the framing has helped here. IMO, to give an impression of falling you need a lot more negative space, and a portrait oriented frame as opposed to a square one. The square frame makes it look like he's just falling to the bottom of a box. 6 |

| To be honest, I think the wooden doll thing is a bit overdone, and the noise in this is just a little too much to ignore as well. Sorry. (5) |

| Wow. After giving you an 8th place finish in the 'Life' challenge, you go and drop him like a lead weight!!! (If you aren't Setzler, then forgive me, I mis-assumed). As far as the photo is concerned, I like the way you captured the theme and the motion. Great job. |

| This is good. And one of my most frightening nightmares. I love the stop-action. |
