    Hi , welcome to dgrin! wave.gif

    One thing that might make the photo a bit stronger is to crop it down. Bring the top of the frame down to just above her head. That puts her face in a really dynamic position, and her body goes across the diagonal of the frame.
    Sid.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I agree. The original crop was to get the width in for a 4x6.

    There is no need to apologize for this picture. It is a really nice capture of a dynamic situation and will always be a keeper.

    I agree with the first comment about cropping, perhaps to a square format so that the girl is on the diagonal to enphasize the dynamism of the image.

    The exposure was a little tricky so that there is a blown out area on her right side and the face is a little underexposed. If you use Photoshop, use the Shadows and highlights filter - minimize the shadows effect but use the midtone contrast correction to afjust the tones on her face to match the arms/hands.

    It is very nice, good catch.
