Submissions:

Sunday, 6th December, 2009 – Saturday, 12th December, 2009 (GMT)

Voting:

Sunday, 13th December, 2009 – Saturday, 19th December, 2009 (GMT)

Processing rules:

No composite images.
No "Digital Art" effects.

Capture date rules:

No restrictions.

Additional rules:

No staged or set up shots, unless the "miss" was accidental in the course of a normal shoot. For instance: a model who trips during a fashion shoot is acceptable. Having the model trip on purpose isn't. We leave it up to the photographer to be honest about it.
This is the opposite of "Missed it by THAT much, Part 1". In that challenge, it was the photographer's "goof" which led to the miss. In this one, the photographer's timing should be spot on and it's the subject who missed an object or action within the photo.
This is very much a "Decisive Moment" type challenge, so select or create images which display critical timing in the instant of capture.
