Excellent timing. I really like her expression pose and the water splash. Wonderful lighting, perspective and depth of field. "V"

I think Peter described it in a perfect way, so I just ca say I agree: it's an outstanding moment and the bw makes it just more universal and timeless. BV

Great action shot; well timed
Doug Cruden09-Jan-2010 18:35
LOL, brilliantly done Sheila! I agree entirely with Peter G - there's a lovely lively circle of energy and fun in this image...I could look at this for hours, there's so much to see and take in...V+

Stewart Mitchell09-Jan-2010 16:30
What a pose, frozen in a moment and with toes pointed down in anticipation. Brilliant!!
Bernard Davis09-Jan-2010 15:17
The spray and her pose make it look as though she's flying up out of the water. An excellent image. Voted

Fabulous fun shot - you're teasing us!! ;)
Guest 09-Jan-2010 13:33
WoW, a fantastic action shot!
Phillip Normanton09-Jan-2010 12:42
Fantastic shot, the splash behind her really sets her apart - cool!
Guest 09-Jan-2010 10:30
This is a brilliant photo, technically, because of the timing, but I actually think what makes it, is whats going on elsewhere, the eye starts at the girl, looking down you follow her eyes, to see a slash already created, but she isn't there yet, suggesting someone had already jumped in just before her, then I notice the man climbing up the ladder following the kid, who's just reached the top (this is what makes the perfect timing in my mind). This circle, along with the very damp pier suggests an almost infinite repeat of the cycle, while some people watch on, only wishing they could be as mad. Super job Sheila. V

Wow, fabulous capture of the water spray, they look like they're having a great time!
Guest 09-Jan-2010 08:39
that is an interesting shot...because as still photography we don't get the luxury of seeing what happened before this was snapped. i like how there is a splash before she even got into the water!
Stephanie09-Jan-2010 08:22
This is a marvelous action shot with nice compo. If this little girl were in the US, she would be doing the "polar bear plunge"! V.
Kathryn09-Jan-2010 08:11
