I think it's just dandy, David, works for me, asbolutely. Like the way it goes from very precise on te left to almost abstract on the right.
Lovely capture, man!
Cheers,
Francis

Yeah I definitely like this shot David, some nice big drops of water you have caught here, and I like the way his blue shirt fades out. Great stuff.

This picture is very different and dynamic, I love it! The composition of the boy to one side and the colour of the shirt work very well.

Great job seeing this scene and capturing it.

Hi Dave,
It's a very good shot. You choosed the right to catch the water. I think the blue t.shirt is perfect to reinforce the feeling of freshness.

I think this is excellent David, really good. Most importantly, your shutter speed was just right in allowing some blur but sharp enough capture of the water drops so that we know what they are. Your exposure is very good; perhaps a touch underexposed but you have avoided irritating blowouts so it works well. I am not certain the boy is in focus exactly, but it really doesn't matter too much here. Nice shot.

Very intimic capture, David! It looks as if you got into the fountain with your D50, getting all wet...
:D
Well, that's the advantage of a 450 mm equivalent lens...Good action stop with the high shutter speed, stopping the big drops of water and enhancing the wet situation of the kid in the midst of all...Very good take!
Thanks for deciding to post it anyway - a good chioce!

Hi David, Maybe not everyone's liking, but certainly mine! You captured an amazing span of water from right to left, up to the drop perfection. The blue color of the the boy's T-shirt enhances the zest of coolness. Great split compo. Well done, --amz

Its a good one David. This is a fantastic summer shot. I was out today and it was scorching hot. Did I mention I had the day off?:) Anyway, on my day off from work, in the heat, I just wanted to jump in the water and cool off. This shot has that great summer feel to it, well done.

Very cool shot. I'ts very dynamic, and the blue shirt just fades out to the right behind the water. Great.

the best part of this shot is the contrast between the lines of water running down off the boys face and the drops of water in front of them in the foreground.. as i mentioned to you before, i think there is too much on the right.. half that side water could be cut and you'd still have a great shot.. but that's just me

Hi Dave, I was browsing your gallery (very interesting indeed) and found this one, cool... Maybe a faster shutter speed would have rendered the water even better... The contrast between the blue shirt and the water is excellent... Very nice crop as well... This one can easily land into my favorites...

Bonjour David
c'est une très belle photo que tu nous proposes ici. Les teintes de bleu sur la gauche qui s'en vont progressivement au fur et à mesure que l'on part sur la droite sont excellentes. Un très beau graphisme. Une photo qui part rejoindre mes favorites ;o)
Bravo
