[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Cliff jumpers about to take the plunge into the freezing cold waters of Georgian Bay on the Bruce Trail.
All I have to say about the sound when they hit is
'OUCH'!

PP: increased contrast, sharpened, framed.

It looks like a risky activity - I wonder who the first brave soul to jump off that cliff and "test the water" was?

Well composed shot, the central placement of the divers is offset by your bisection of the frame into light, shade, and colour.

Not so keen on the drop-shadow border, to me it's too "clever" and distracts from the photograph.

This is a great photo with an "edge"to it. The ethereal hues of blue that provide a balance of calm and danger as the poor souls are about to jump into the cold water! Gives me the shivers reading your note! TFS!

cheers,

Dilshan

thanks Jan,

Hi Jan,
Spectacular POV on these reckless young men! I like these two plans contrasted, the saturated colors and the beautiful rendering of the nuances on the sea.
Bravo! Annie

Bom dia Jan,

Bonsoir Jan.
Le rendu des couleurs est tout à fait conforme à une belle exposition et le contraste bien géré entre les zones clair et foncés.
Un bon travail photographique avec un bon cadrage.
Bonne soirée.

Hello Jan.
Wow, this is good moment captured and very effective.

Brave people!
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Jan, Good sporty photo. The lower guy looking up at his friend, and the eye contact makes this interesting. The strong diagonal is very strong part of this image. Exciting. TFS. Murray
