My Daughter was diving off a raft this weekend. I was sitting on shore snapping and I caught this shot. I really love the cottage feel of the shot

Hope this does well

I try to guess before looking at the titles what the D and L are. I had guessed 'Duck and Launch', 'Dive and Lowered'. So I think you have a lot of D and L's in this pic. Great photo for the challenge.
You have captured a great moment. I personally like the DOF. Focus is perfect right where it is. In all the right spots. We don't need to see her feet in focus, so having just her 'diving half' in focus works great for me.
Color is also good. I like the way there is not much color in the shot, but her red bathing suit tie really stands out. gives us that tiny something to add extra interest to the shot.
I like the positioning of the subject even though she is directly in the center of the shot, she is kind of coming out of the left side of the photo, making it a left to right photo and we aren't looking directly at the center.
Nothing distracting about the background.
Lighting is excellent.
Overall a great shot, nothing that I can see that I'd really change here. Very pleasing image.

Excellent capture though the DOF is a bit off. Nonetheless it is one of the top quartile photo of this challenge. Good luck!

I'm not a fan of frames, but I think it helps this one. I like the way the ribbon flows off the back. Well composed.

Looking at yours again, I have scored it too low. That's why it pays to go through the shots again with a clean eye. The colors are good, would like to see a little bump in levels, but the image is crisp and the bathing suit tie shows the movement that you really look for in this type of image. Nice Job.

good idea, the colors look a little flat, I know we can't control the water color, maybe in a different lighting condition it would have a little more pop......imo 4
