Let you judge whether this activity is dangerous or not.There were about 10 teenagers all dressed in wet suits,enjoying the thrill,I guess they had to judge their jump as there were rocks they had to miss on
their entry into the water.

Hello Ronald,in the U.K. and maybe where you are, this is known as 'tombstoning'.
Can I ask, is this Portsmouth or Plymouth in Devon?The reason I ask is because we stay in Plymouth very often, and this looks like the sea front there, with the Citadel behind.And youngsters have enjoyed this dangerous activity showing off to anyone who wishes to look on.
The activity is actually banned but it doesn't seem to stop them!
Your shot is good in that we can see the boy jumping and the water and rocks below.
Good colour and sharpness.
Tfs, regards Jean.
Or...
You have to be nuts to jump off a wall.
Excellent capture of these idiots.

Hi Ron: Very impressive action shot of these crazy dare devils...... I had to do a long double take for this one. I like the set up of the composition as well.....a very interesting photo... thanks Ron:0)
Hi Ronald, great capture, i hadn't seen the jumper on the thumbnail, good choice of vertical format including all the wall at the bg and all the way down to the people on the rocks.

HI Ron
What kids will do for thrills these days always seem to want to confront death.
Great shot showing the diver and the clearness of the water shows the rocks beneath the surface, and he had better not miss that hole.
