i had a difficult time picking a favorite among these 4 strong images, but now think that nr 3 is the leader IMHO, followed closely by nr 2. a very refreshing series, thank you.

greetings from hamburg

Jean-Luc,

You have presented four great shots. I can't select any one as my favorite. They all have lots of fun and excitement. The water in the sunlight just about sprays on the one viewing. i was tempted to grab my umbrella. Great lighting, composition, tones and clarity.

Jean-Luc, all four are superb but number three gets my vote for its simplicity. Well done!

azzo · 04.07.2009, 07:10

The last is the strongest IMHO ...

.. with all being lovely captures Jean-Luc.

Marvelous photos that make a coherent set. One can imagine the 4 as prints arranged together on a wall. I agree with others that #3 would make the best single image, assuming you had to choose only one for display. It makes the simplest "beat the heat" static photo. But the action portrayed by the entire set is almost cinematic.

Beautiful pictures, Jean-Luc.
I also prefer #3: is the boy "flying"?

Thanks very much Rick, Paul, John,Ivan, Mickael and Mikele for your very nice comments.

I shot a lot of pictures and there were many that could have been posted (I think).
The boy on the third one is catching with his breast a "shot of water" (we can see another one just forming on the right side of the pic),like a footballer would do it to control the ball.

It was great fun to see these kids so joyful.

Warm regards
Jean-Luc

Jean-Luc -

These are all excellent for moment, framing, light, color, detail and action. You probably would get more viewers if thsi set were in the People section.

I am going to put for more pics in the people section.

All the best,

Fabulous series.

Excellent, again. #3 and 4 are my favorite. Great light, but best for playful energy and timing.
