[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
At camp last week we had a water balloon toss and this was one of the defeated. The expression on his face before the balloon landed was priceless. I posted this one first because I love the stop-action of the water balloon bursting on him.

Even now his expression is priceless - at least to me!
You just caught the right moment. His clothes are still dry although the balloon burst.
Great!
Maybe that a bit more space above his head might have worked, too, but considering that one has to be really quick to get such a shot there is nothing negative to say about this image.
Thanks for sharing this moment of your life with us.
Kindest regards, Britta
