hey jean... great shot and congrats on the 4th place.... i totally agree with you, i love watching and listening to kids play too... it's very inspiring...
Looks like they had lots of fun doing this. Great sunny background adds to the overall fun feeling your photo conveys to me. Good composition too. Hope you do well in the challenge. 8
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
fun shot! surreal tinge to the cloud colors..quite nice. wish the foremost child was facing forward or more towards the camera...but great composition! really enjoy this one.
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.
