Hello Manuel! What a joyful scene you captured here. The silhouetted shapes of the children are all very clear against the sky, so your timing was very good. And of course the reflection just really adds icing onto the cake. Well done.

Hi Manuel!
Fantastic shot.
The poses of the kids remains me to some graphic work of Keith Harring.Excellent nearly B&W composition and a great contrast of the perfect sharp silhouettes with the wonderful light in the background.The reflections are perfect too.
Thanks for a new favourite.

Beautiful Composition dear Manuel.
How many shots did you take to reach this excillence?
A superb atmoshphere and the play of light and the sillhoutees is ey pleasing.
The diagonal perspective makes it a treat to watch and the reflections in the water add another feather in the beauty crown of your shot.
Very Well Done.

This one is just too crazy !! And what about the kids, you would ask actors to do that you couldn't reach this pictural effect. This one you could frame it and put it on your living room's wall. Chapeau bas, Mr. Manuel !

Hi, Manuel. A wonderful shot with a well-chosen title. These boys are full of energy and life. The silhouettes that stand out against the splendid seascape have been caught at the right moment, when all the boys but one were in mid-air. The reflections in the puddleadd to the interest of the scene. A really great shot.

Hi manny.
I just love your photography. You hve a wonderful gift not only to get all the technical stuff. But there is such a genuine purity in your photos. there is a real warmth and emotion in the pictures you take.

Just a question did you edit this, by making the profiles of the children darker? if not it is a wonderful shot, the light in the background and the forground starkly contrast the childrens figures.
Well done!!
