Challenge: Celebration (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Canon EOS-20D

Date: Oct 9, 2005
Aperture: F/5

I always feel uplifted when I watch children play, seeing the happiness on their faces, not a care in the world.

The first kid is mine and then the second two are his two good friends.

It was a pity the kids were in a shadow, but the entry had to be in by the evening so there was no chance to take it again.

Thanks for all the comments and votes.

Well done, beautiful warm purples/blues/greens. I wish there were a bit more light on the children's bodies, esp. faces, and I also wish the "sharpening halo" (I think that's what it is) were not so pronounced. That water sure is green. ~8

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.
