Jumping for Joy!

Comment by CNovack:
A capture of pure joy and zest for life. I love the captured expression of shreiking happiness of the child who hangs in mid-air. I also like how you captured this moment when all three children seem to be lined up in a natural progression of leaping. The one closest to us is the first step: standing on the edge. The one in the middle shows the next step which is taking that first step off in the leap. Lastly, the one in the background shows us the last step in the progression leaping off and suspended in mid-air. My only critiques is that I would crop out some of the empty blue space at the top of this photo to keep the eye focused on the action and main subject of the shot. Also, I think it would help the composition just a tad if we could see more of the water below that they are going to be splashing into.

How much fun! I love their looks of pure delight. I wish they weren't in shadow, but overall, nicely done and I love all of the various shades of blue.

Jean this image has been like a revelation to me because it allowed me to visit your portfolio and what I discovered was a complete surprise.

I'm in total awe of your art it so refreshing and appealing it has bonded with me in a way that is so rare perhaps akin to finding a superb red wine that you know you will enjoy for years to come.

You are truly an artist in every sense of the word. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Cheers!
