| nice image but- he knew this was coming- his shirt is soaking wet and the water didn't land yet.... must have been one or two throws before this one? |

| Knew this was a winner from the moment I saw it - the best by far IMO! Well done indeed, congrats aplenty - crack open the champagne (just don't aim it at him again - looks like he's had enough!) |

Great stop action! Your lighting/exposure/DOF/etc are all perfect! Clean, crisp black background is very nice for this shot! His shirt looks too wet for this 'stage' of the splash. Makes me wonder how many shots to get it the way you wanted it! I can't think of anyway to improve, you have done it all so well. Good luck in the challenge!

Well, to me, it matters little with an image like this, whether the light (underside of right arm) appears to orignate from an artificial light source (when compared to the daylight (?) evident on the subject's face), nor can I hold my attention long enough to consider any details of composition or length of exposure (which would effect the preception of the water -jet-).
It's a great timed capture and a wonderful snapshot with good focus, good lighting for the purpose and without any distracting or redundant inclusions. The moment is banned perfectly and hilariously.
It ain't art, but certainly a wonderful fun shot, any fine arts photographer would be a fool to pass up! ;-) |

| One of my highest rated, I like this very much in spite of the fact that it seems "set up". I was kind of looking for "real" surprises, but this is just so good. Composition, lighting, and general overall look are great, and it does get the point of the challenge across. |

| wonderful capture of water - how many times did your poor subject have to dry off and change clothes? Or cold yo possibly have gotten this in one take? The guesture o the hands is such a natural one, it doesn't even look posed. And perfect against the black background. teeny bit sharper maybe? 9 |

11/27/2003 06:34:31 PM |
Let me join the masses. How could this not win! 10
I do feel that he should have changed tees after every attempt! Seeing that his shirt is wet, but the water is just barely hitting him sorta destroys the illusion. But that isn't trying to take anything away from the shot. It's perfectly excellent. |

| It is a good stop motion shot, however it would be better if the shirt wasnt already soaked. I must admit though that they must really love you if they put up with the retakes. |

I have been staring at this photo and it's driving me nuts.
1st off let me say, this is an excellent capture. Lighting is good, white balance, focus, the whole 9 yards. Wonderful.
Now, here is what I cannot seem to figure out. You have a near complete black background. This does not look like harsh flash, and I KNOW you where not tossing water buckets around your studio... Please share how you got such rich true color.
Lastly, I see from his hair that this was most likely not staged. Good Job.
