Sorry jfish...but the skewed horizon really appears to work here IMHO...the subject is slightly skewed to the right, the horizon, slightly to the left...it creates a 'balance' of sorts...I really like the shot 'as is', the colors also work great together, in addition to the captured action, I must admit...nicely done Author!

Very nice, and I like that it's not black and white like almost all of the others. (pretty model, too)

Having a style is one thing, but using a scene that was used before in a previous contest is another thing entirely.

Great shot.

Can't say I blame you author. I am not a big fan of cropping down images either- usually I just don't enter the themes that require macro type stuff as I don't own a macro lens and in my opinion cropping an image just can't compare.

" I hate cropping with a burning passion, and only do so to straighten a photo or to fix poor composition, otherwise I see cropping as a useless editing technique. "

That is your option, but if the theme is CLOSE-UP you will either have to overcome your aversion, or learn to get closer. Not all of us are clever enough to perfectly frame every photograph.
