This is really great. Colors are superb, composition is excellent and the scene itself is a schoolbook example of the right place and the right time.

Fantastic capture. Great colours/great subject. Well composed and presented.

This is just an amazing shot! I am gripped by the circumstance, and your fortunate capture of ‘life in action’, although I bet patience was your fortune, in this case. Great work on this real-life photograph, that is beautiful, gripping, wonderfully colorful, and well taken.

Very unusual scene. Vibrant colors.

Beatiful color well framed very blue water i wonder how deep you where,.. obviously used some sort of artificial light source to get the color so vivid with such a deep background color.
