People jumping water

[EightBitTony]

I appreciate it's not possible to cover this topic without being compared to Henri Cartier-Bresson, but I was hanging around in Nottingham and noticed some folk digging up the pavement, and pumping water out in large volumes. So I sat and watched a lot of people jump over the ensuing stream.

Sadly, many of them are from the side or back, but sometimes that's what you get.

Here are 3 or 4 of my favourites.

Trainers and Purses

Pigtails and Boots

Stripes and Shorts and Chequered Dresses

Backstreet Heroes

There's plenty I could improve on, but I just liked the idea of putting a set of pictures together.

Nice set, but I do like that last image. It's my favorite of the bunch. Well taken & Processed. Do like the B&W images.

Re: People jumping water

As a set they work brilliantly together. The last could stand on its own, perhaps square crop it in from the right? Nicely done

Re: People jumping water

Thanks all, really appreciate the comments. That last shot - if I'd had a chance to shoot it from the front I think it would be exceptionally strong, but from the back I personally think it needs the support of the others. However, a couple of non-forum members have made similar comments, so maybe I'm not giving it enough credit. I play with the cropping and see how that helps.

Thanks again all, I really enjoyed taking and processing them.
