good use of silhoette -- would like to see the whole skater - really caught the moment of balance... one of my favorites this challenge

Would be better for me if her silhouette weren't bleeding into the vertical black line - is it a gate onto the ice?

Looks a little over sharpened to me, but an excellent choice for this challenge.

Wonderful subject and composition. Your use of color desaturation and the interplay of lighting and shadows really makes the subject pop. I also like the low POV used since it highlights the balance point on the subjects skates. One element I found distracting though is the dark line against the backboards. It blends in with the sillouhette of the skater. Nice shot nonetheless.... 7

Good indication of balance would have been better if the hands were not lost in the background.

This is a brillaint image but I think the post-processing has ruined it. I don't know if you were trying to get details from areas where it didn't exist or you went a little overboard. If not for the post-processing flaws, I would have given it at least a 9. To me this is photography as a form of art. The whole image has a nice flow and balance to it and it's beautiful. Pity that an image like this has halos and all.

This shot is quite evocative. It provides a real sense of drama and emotion. I personally would have left a bit more space at the top of the image. The choice of black and white really adds to the emotion.

What a graceful motion/position you've captured. I like the sweep on the lines in the ice that mirror the movement of the skater. Wish that black gap weren't there!!
