Beautiful. Even better if it's capturing that moment of contact before the splash.

Incredible image. I can't wait to hear how you pulled it off. Beautiful composition and crop. Technically perfect.

The Beauty of Smoke

My new theory is that the true measure of the greatness of a DPC challenge photo is how many 1's and 2's it's given in voting. Your image got 0 in both categories (and only two 3's), which means that even the idiots couldn't bring themselves to vote it down.

Your image is a true winner and one of the best shots of the last few months, period. Outstanding!

This is my daughter's shot, her best showing so far. I have to take partial credit though, I held the hose while she said "higher," "no, lower," "a little to the left."

Breathtaking scale and colors. Beautiful compositional lines and off-centered subject. Very, very nice.

A stretch for the challenge, IMO, and the foreground tree spoils the image. Otherwise, fine action still.

Excellent in every way. A classy shot, easily meets the challenge.

A very nice portrait shot, but doesn't really appear relevant to the challenge, even though the sun appears to be behind her. Your use of fill flash negates any element of shading or relief that would have been produced by the back light.

An interesting subject, and a nice setting, but I don't see much evidence of backlighting.
