very cool composition...

great image!

Superb, this is one of the best bw Photos I've ever seen here.

speechless.good job.

Perfect timing producing an excellent composition. You should be able to sell this one no problem.

Outsanding composition. I also like absence of clear deliniation between sea and sky. Wouldn't change a thing. Odlitc'no!

Great shot. SO many points of interest and there is no one ruining the photo with that many people around!

One of my all-time favorites on photo.net.

 

Well captured.

A capture of a decisive moment worthy of Cartier-Bresson. I'd be interested to know how many frames you exposed to get this one gem.

unreal!

Either this is an old photo - or you've made it look like one. The action and the way this shot is simple and complex at the same time is very exciting.

I like to come back to this shot (and the Jump in your Children folder). It belongs with the best on photo.net. What are you up to lately?

an unbelievable image with a juxtaposed simplicity and complexity - looks classic on the one hand, but very modern on the other. you've got yourself a winning image here.

There are happening such a lot of things on this photo. Im just deeply impressed. This is almost a movie.

It is indeed like a film or a book comprising a number of chapters; wherever one looks, something different appears to be happening. The high-key exposure works, the parts that require shadow details in order to tell their tale stand out to perfection. It's a real gem of a photograph, well done.

It's always reassuring to see one of the pictures I discovered way back to show up as POW, it shows what jewels are hidden in the depth of the gallery pages and it is good to know that some people still dig up the gems.

 

I like this picture because it tells multiple stories in a relaxed way from a slight distance. It has a distinct feeling of being a little older and thus evokes many of my own memories, when I was vacationing in Istria.

Just lovely. I like the balance. It reminds me of that Escher print of the men endlessly climbing the stairs. Round and round they go, climbing and jumping, climbing and jumping. Well done.

this is what photography can be, and whow it distinguishes itself from painting-art.

It is one of those swiimming places found in dreams. really great.

Great to see an image like this -- almost "classic" in motion-freeze and simplicity. The position of the diver in mid-air complements a feeling of weightlessness and flight.

 

The image could probably benefit from some darkroom fine tuning, but it is indeed an oustanding image. Would like to hear about how this image was made. Congrats on POW!

great moment,composition and gorgeous shot

I'll have to return later for more photographic comment, but does anyone else think that our well-frozen diver isn't going to land well?

 

I do like the shape of the image and the many stories it offers.

Bloody unreal. It's so perfect I thought it was fake, I actually for a momentlooked closer to see if the people were dolls. Indeed, brilliant. Bravo. And please, let's here the story behind the taking of it.

Lovely image. Alluring in every way.

 

If somebody comes back with a comment that suggests that it is over exposed, I think I will scream.
