    Reminds me of the famous photo of a man jumping a puddle but that's a good thing. Did you stage this? It almost seems too good to be true. Nice work.

    Sorry Walter, it doesn't do anything for me. I like how you caught the guy with both feet off the ground, but other than that there's no real focal point, and I don't like how every major object in the picture has some part of it severed. I'm sorry.

    Love the Colours and the pop art type theme. This would go down well with the youngsters - all you need now is some brand names to pull them in and I would say loads of money from advertising

    I somewhat agree with Kelly. It doesn't do much for me either. I did happen to look in your gallery, and i must say that you really have an eye for photography. You have a knack for knowing how to capture the moment and your photographs show it. Impressive stuff in your gallery, but this one doesn't do much for me.
