The Bravest, a photo from Varna, East

Photographer's Note

We were having a break after a long afternoon walk in a small cafe near the yacht harbour of Balchik. A bunch of youngsters came to the pier. This one's jumps were perfect - high amplitude and with no splash at all.
Very difficult shot, but this kid's jumps made the efford worthy. Sutter speed 1/1300, f/8, Focal lenght equiv = 432 mm (X 12 optical zoom) almost against the setting sun.

Hi Ben,
I had a look at your gallery and it looks really a nice one! My compliments!
This image is great for dynamism and composition and it reminds me a photo of a famous italian photogrpher, Gianni Berengo Gardin... his image was taken in India, anyway.
A smile
