Nice capture. Nice processsing. Good work. I especially like that the smaller child is ducking away from the splash. High marks.

I really like this capture. There's a good feeling about it. I just wish I could see more of the facial expressions.

LauraYoung said 316 days ago:

Nicely done. Love that you captured her in the hunched braced position. You caught the moment perfectly because I'm sure she was moving!

Ana said 316 days ago:

This is superb! Might have darkened that ship a bit to make it less a part of the shot, but all around high marks. Great great great.

nice picture, i like the tone in here. correct me if i'm wrong, is there a boat on the street and bicycle in the river?

dre said 316 days ago:

That image makes quite a splash of impact! If I could see the expressions I imagine they would be fun, which to me is what life's interactions are all about.

@winetou: haha, exactly. This was in Bremen last july, and the summer there (as in the rest of Europe, for that matter) had been completely crazy: after a month of solid rain, the temperatures suddenly went up to 35°C with a cloudless sky. The end result was that the river overflew a bit, and so the path along it was under ~10cm of warm water, to the delight of the local bikers (i.e. 98% of the city population).

Thanks all for your comments.

This is GREAT, really like it a lot. The people are in the water, the boat is on land (or so it seems). This would have been a great shot without the boat, but with it's even better. A real juxtaposition...

i love this :D the black and white is good.. the boat in the back left is a bit annoying though...

I was just clicking on this to comment and presto - it features before I had a chance. Fabulous shot, I can easily see it as part of a series of photos in Life.
