Interesting idea. I remember coming across it when voting and thinking "swimming trunks?"
Compositionally, it feels a little tight at the top. There is a comfortable amount of space under your feet, but just a sliver at the top. This, to me, makes it feel a bit unbalanced and top heavy.
Technically, the exposure is good, the focus is good, and the two different colors of flash was a good idea. However, the "sunshine" flash looks like a flash, and the "cold" flash causes some shadows that take away from the authentic look.
Again, it is a great take on the challenge, I think it just has a couple of minor nitpicks in the execution that hurt you. |

Spotted this in my initial scan of all the entries - couldn't wait to see the full size version during my vote. Excellent lighting choices here - I like this a lot. |

The white balance seems off. |

Great use of the light, maybe cropped to tight at the top. |

Eh, He's wearing a glove!
The close crop on top seems odd. The lighting in the upper half of the image is great. |

you did not go all the way in executing your concept. you should not have shoes and gloves on. |

Great lighting, only nit-pick would be that it is cropped a bit tight at the top which is a focus area of the image. |

This is funny, the lighting is neat, focus is great, but there should be more head room, nice challenge take, 7. |
