About the Image(s)
Several years ago I was on the beach in Tasmania and saw these kids doing cartwheels and different jumps on the beach in the sunset so that they could have their photos taken. Can't find the original color photo, but know I cropped and changed to black and white. Taken with my Canon 7D, 300 mm, 1/200 sec at f8, ISO 400.

Nice! Tells the story of a group of women showing off for the camera   Posted: 04/01/2021 11:46:54
Great street image and works well in black and white. It would be ideal if the photographer's legs hadn't been cut off, but then you might not have gotten all of the jumpers' details. Nice capture!!   Posted: 04/08/2021 18:29:24
I love this image. It's nicely composed (I'm not bothered by the photographer's legs not all being in the image) and it works well in black and white. I like the energy that the image conveys. I can also see individual personalities in each of the jumpers. It's just a well done image all the way around and I think it really speaks to those of us viewing it.   Posted: 04/11/2021 13:37:22
I very much like the action and gesture in this image, the four figures in a synchronized jump for the photographer. For me, that the jumpers are lined up on a diagonal gives the image its energy. I too don't mind that the photographers feet are not shown in the image. Very nicely done.
One small nit; I would darken the bright area in the upper left corner a bit to contain my eye movement in that direction then brighten the image some.
