I love the feeling of total abandon in this photo. I don't like the border, though.

This is a great capture. Good exposure, a great candidate for B/W.The only thing I dont like is the rounded corners.

Verry nice, I like it, I think a bit more contrast would help on the impact.

I don't know why (maybe because I've been reading up on the Australian fireball events of 1993 to 1997), but my first thought was that this looked like a meteor flying in and bapping a kid... I think it was the fact that the line of water doesn't quite line up to where it ought to and the kid seems to be reeling... It gave me some ideas about shots of someone reeling the opposite way as being struck in the belly...

After having looked closer, it seems to make more sense. I wonder if the brown patches in the grass could have been capitalized on in some way....

Good job. If you really want to go for the brown, be careful, I might give you a run for your money if I ever get enough time and the right circumstances to let my limited imagination submit a shot....

Excellent capture. It may or may not have been staged and if it was, you made it look like a candid. Good luck!
