The diver being parallel to the horizon...a perfect split moment capture. Great timing and great shot.

That is going to hurt.

To me, there is too much shadow in the rock and the water seems over saturated. It's a great stop-action.

Great colors and timing, but it seems like you're trying to get alot in here. If the cliff is the subject, the vertical composition makes sense, but I would like to see the rock face properly exposed. If the diver is the subject (as I believe he is here) perhaps a horizontal (or square) composition would work better to emphasize the movement and position of the diver. Still, a very nice shot.

"How shallow is it, Timmy?"
*crunch!*
"Okay, thanks! We'll go down a little further to try for a better place."

Heh heh.

Very interesting shot. It has a sort of "cliff hanger ending" pun half intended. I want resolution: a splash, but he never falls. Very cool.

Maybe crop out the water and the horizon line to give the illusion that the jump is much higher than it is? 8

if the leaper were the only person in this shot it would 10 times better IMO - and if he was in street clothes stronger still - almost pink floyd-esc.

Still a great capture - my twelve year old who came in loves it too! 7
