Very interesting shot. I like the tones on his skin and motion of the water. The white band across the bottom at a slight angle is bit of a distraction.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Amazing range of contrasts here - high and stark bottom right and low top left. A really difficult lighting situation, rendered perfectly at your hand. His expression is sublime - expressing a pure moment. The image overall is highly dynamic, frozen it may be but remains communicative of movement and life.

Critical stuff: I wonder if a crop into the lowest part of the darkness may have been effective.

Overall: Lovely (even masterful) stuff.

Nice shot with just enough motion blur to make it eye-catching!

that 5.3 moniker is proving to be prophetic. this was terribly underrated i love the dof here and the foreground texture.

I love the figure and the splash but the fountain's white on white with no tones just drags the image down.
