[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It is so miserably hot here in South Carolina, I just can't summon ANY enthusiasm for getting out in it and shooting photos. SO I have been looking through old files and I always liked this one. Don't know why I never did anything with it.

I love stop action shots. This one was taken at my family reunion last year. Just the normal stuff. Cropping, sharpening, bit of levels adjustments and framed. Hope you enjoy it.

Haha the secret to a great shot is timing - and the timing here couldn't be better! An absolute spot-on capture of the moment of impact!

Good timing and really great frozen action. I love how he's watching you, very proud, I'm sure, to have you capturing this moment. TFS

Hi Shelly,
Awesome action shot! Very well frozen with your fast shutter speed. I love the colour of the water due to the reflection from the bottom of the pool, looks so inviting! Looks like this kid isn't going to stay dry for very long, haha. Nice composition, it looks extremely sharp and well focused - Good timing.

TFS,
Scott.

Hi Shelly,
At least someone is having a summer. In Ohio it's been to cold to swim. Temp in the mid 70's...in August! Anyway, I like the action captured here. You did a great job of capturing him just before going under. Nice shot.

Kevin

Excellent shot Shelly.
The timing is just right. The fence provides a nice dark BG that does not distract the eye.
