My two cents:

* Composition looks a bit odd, either show the complete skater or a close-up detail, but not half the body.
* Why the white vignetting? I do not think it works here.

I agree. I would have opted to show the whole person and forget the white vignetting. Also, I don't care for the blown high values in #2 and #4.

Ok, thanks for your opinions.
I've tried something different, what do you think about?
