(1st): We liked the composition, the cropping of the picture, etc. The lighting was almost perfect and the stopped action captured was compelling. Caption was intriguing too. (2nd): Broke rule of thirds in a nice way. The water twirling really frames the main subject too. Lighting and color are perfect. (3rd): Creative lighting and perspective on subject. Little dark, but the overhead lights added dramatic lighting to the moment and we found it tasteful. Lots of context to picture and a good moment.
