An interesting series. In my opinion, if you cut off the real skater from the rest of the image, and leave behind just the water and reflections, you will have a much stronger image.
There's too much to crop from the first, I don't want to crop so tightly around the skater. And I tried flipping, it didn't look so good, it had a really arkward comp.
Hey, make no mistake, it is a very good image despite my preferences, as are the others. The B&W's have quality that is hard to articulate, so keep up the good work.
