    James,
    You captured a fun moment. This image brings a smile to my face as it just looks like so much fun and energy. I remember another of yours a while back with kids playing and was also quite good. Seems you have a forte in this type of shot. Hmm, the only thing that may bother me a bit is not seeing the full arch on top or some more of the landing area. Maybe a vertical shot of this would have captured just a bit more to my personal liking. But regardless, this is a great catch for the moment is here and gone in seconds. . .and you froze it in time forever. Good work

    Hello Gary

    Thank you for looking and commenting !
    I never thought of capturing the top of the arch as well . You are right there , i also think it could have make a difference if the whole arch was captured ! I will remember next time !
    I like to capture the kids when they are playing - they were having so much fun that they did not even notice me while taking the photo's , and their expressions came out naturally !

    Regards

    Kids at play can be very amusing and powerful, in a positive entertaining way. And you seen to have a knack for catching those great moments. Maybe a whole series of " kids at play" would make a great volume. Just improve a bit on the technicals. like the frame up. .(a wider angle lens shot at vertical to include the botom landing area or the top of the arch) . if your using ps try an auto-levels adjustment. . .and some of these type of shots converted to b&w could be very effective as well. Look forward to more of these from you

    Gary ,

    You have a good idea of making a series of " kids at play " ! I never thought of that .
    It could be a very good challenge doing that . I will also try to improve by using your guidelines .
    Thank you for taking time for looking and commenting

    Regards
    james
