Shot on a day out at Alton Towers. These girls were very much enjoying getting soaked on the Ripsaw ... moments earlier they were chanting "Get us wet! Get us wet!".

Post Challenge: What a glorious feelin' I'm happy again ...
Gotta be happy with this result - it is not possible to get any further out of my comfort zone than this. I'm scared of shooting people I know, never mind strangers!
Plus it puts a smile on my face every time I look at it : )
OK, sue me for paying attention to the picture and not the details - just noticed your title. You should shoot people more often - it really is kinda fun! (And very smart move to include the DPC-mandated water droplets, I might add...) :-)
Congratulations! This is wonderful! I just browsed through your photos using the above link. Absolutely delightful! I was laughing at work! It was sort of like a mini vacation! What fun!
Well, I hope you'll be trying it more often. This is about as awesome a people shot as you can get!! Congratulations! This is a great choice for top honors!
I knew it! … I was surprised to see that this wasn't taken in the U.S. … this definitely captures a great thrill-seekers' moment of fun and anxiety combined.
I am unable to view this one in Brouse gallery for some reason.
How odd.
Maybe this photo is just a figment of your imagination? Oh heck, now I'm going to spend the rest of the day questioning my own existance again! ; )
Priceless. Love the use of B/W tones. The expressions are great. This is a very nice well composed crisp photo. You can definately feel the excitement.
Beautiful photo. I hope to see this one on the front page next week :) It's a very dynamic action capture. One of my favorite elements of candid/street type photography is having something interesting going on in the photo, and you have nailed that part :) This photo also made a great black and white.. nice work :) 10
