Thanks for viewing. I guess postprocessing could have been done

better. I would appreciate very much any hints.

Excellent photo - great action. You have great focus and clarity on this one. How to improve? tell the water not to cover her face - just joking of course.

Seriously though, the angle of the person compared to the slide looks a bit odd but other than that it is a fine image.

 

Thanks for commenting on one of my photos.

 

PS I will be in a similar place tomorrow - perhaps I can try some shots like this.

Thanks, Tony. After thinking about your comment regarding the angle, I thought I might have overcropped it. BTW, when you look at the picture in larger size, this is a 100% crop, pixel for pixel.

 

Here is another crop, which is still only a third of original photo, which was vertical. 55 mm was the longest I had at my disposal.

Your post processing seems fine to me on this. Where I think you could have improved things a little is with your angle of exposure and your crop. Having seen the larger cropped version, I'd like to see much more of the yellow slide on the left to help contrast all the blue... and that bit of foliage on the upper right I find a little distracting. A move of the photographer and camera to the right might have eliminated that and included more of the yellow, without upsetting the overall balance much. The subject is great, but I feel it would have been worth trying several more exposures to try for less splash around the face.

Thank you very much, Steven. I agree with all you have said. We did take several pictures. I felt like this one was the best by a large margin. I am not so sure now. I will add another one soon.
