This is great. Not only did you manage to get a superb action capture, but at the same time a very interesting composition where the girl is doing her utmost while the judges seem to be totally indifferent to her great performance. Excellent shot - congratulations.

This image shows Cerian warming up during a competition, and in the background the judges are counting up the previous competitors score before showing the results. This is the reason why they don't seem to care. As you can see she is wearing tracksuit bottoms and in the competition she would only wear a leotard. Yes she is using a trampoline although this was her first ever trampoline competition and she has not trained for the event she is a ex commonwealth/international gymnast which I think helped. Cerian was entered as a guest and won the competition, but as a guest she declined the trophies and certificates in her usual selfless manner. We just need to persuade her to join the club now.....

What she's doing effortlessly seems impossible - and the judges don't care... Implies that they are prejudging after some special pattern and don't really look. So who needs judges? ... I don't know if this is true, but that's what comes to my mind. Wonder if she's using a tramboline? Nice that you can see the thumbnail when you write the message.

Awesome action capture.. what gets me is the expression on the judges faces..
