Run!!

[MichaelToye]

This boy ran once through the water jets - I was just lucky to be in the right place. I still screwed up the composition, but it's not all lost. Does anyone agree?

Edit: I replaced the image on Flickr and I'm a lot happier with it

Somerset House?

I like the shot. His back foot nearly touching the fountain right behind him gives it a sense of immediacy. Nice contrast and has an energy to it.

I'd give it a crop; bottom and right.

Agree with jaapv - try it and see what happens!
Very well worth playing around with.

Lucky? Yes, but you need to know when to TRY to be lucky. And you did.

Cheers,

Not screwed up, positive.
It might be interesting though, if you tried the same scene again,
lying flat on the ground with a wide angle, somewhere between the metal gutter and the first fountain.

Good shot and I agree, a little cropping and alignment of the horizontals will make it even better.

I like it. I'm on my iphone and have been playing with snap seed: I played with your image and emailed it to you just for fun.

Whoops, Can't email you.
Amazing what one can do on the iphone ! Please delete the photo/post if it offends you.

Chopping off the fountains in the foreground does limit your options, but I still really like it. Perfect exposure as well.

Thank you all - really great and constructive feedback!

I have straightened the bottom 'section' and cropped some of the sides and bottom.
