Nice picture, I think it would look better without the little dooey over in the left corner.

would have been so great if this was sharp...a tighter crop to eliminate the edge of the pier would have made it look more dramatic, as if he was falling out of the sky...an impressive shot though

Crop it tighter and try to get a bit sharper focus on diver. His feet look good against sky.

Great natural moment captured. Really, really nice black and white treatment!

A few observations...
- without the title, it would be hard to pinpoint the progress here.
- the old man in the bright white shirt is a bit distracting, my eye continues to drift back to him. I wonder if a crop of only the three boys would have worked better.
- the bench/horizon is tilted. Take a look at this tutorial, it may help.

Good Luck!
