By The Waterfront, a photo from Sabah, East

Photographer's Note

It was a bright hot afternoon, and a group of boys is cooling off by the marina. They went aboard a fishing boat but, taking turn and showing off their diving skill, jump off it in myriad of styles.

Hi Rabani,
Nicely seen and captured. Great timing in catching these kids on their environment, playing and having fun. You catch the jumping kid on an perfect inverted position. VEry well done. Regards,
Ricardo

Hi Rabani,
Excellent timing and superb framing. I love the little guy climbing up the boat persumably to jump again. Little kids are so active...:) Do you think we could have had a little more on the right? I sort of feel that the crop is a bit tight on the right considering that a bit to the left was permissible...
Anyways, i love this shot

Hai Rabani, I like the kid jumping into the river "frozen" by your short. Lovely expression coming from the kids. Well captured.

Hi! I really like this picture, especially the diver and the little boy with the blue t-shirt. His pose is very hero-like. He looks like a leader in my opinion. Determined. Good work. I posted a workshop if you're interested in looking.

Great action photo, Bani, well timed to catch the flying guy in mid-air and an almost hilarious pose. A nice moment that also works well as a sample illustration of the often-cited "joys of childhood". Well done.

Wow, Rabani, An excellent capture of the action. I like the inclusion of the environment and the other kids in the scene. It is worriless and fearless childhood age. It reminds me all those wild things I did when I was in that age. A very well taken picture. Thanks for sharing.

A good one! the somersault is fantastic...after looking at your workshop I find that the B+W version is better....it create a better mood.

thaprem (2566) 2005-10-20 2:33

Rabani,
The Timing is excellent!...
I have never seen a such shot so close...
THe expressions & the just right crop makes it very exciting to watch.
Cheers,
Prem.

What great timing to capture this, Rabani. It's an unusual shot that made me look twice. Some might have opted for a slower shutter speed to show motion but having caught the boy exactly upside down I think the sharp capture is best - it makes it look like he is just hanging there defying gravity.

A great moment. There is almost no blurring which is so beautiful. The expressions on the boy's faces and overall composition are excellent. Thanks...
