Thanks, Jerry - Your color is great! Bev

Hi Bev,
Thanks for the comments. This shot was taken in "S" mode with daylight WB. I went back to the original and the WB looks fine.

Hmmm - I was sure I posted a comment, Jerry; maybe I was working too late :-). To echo everyone else - A beautiful photo - great color, contrast, and composition. And a question, Jerry. Do you have any idea what white balance you used? (not that I wuld remember such a thing) I have difficulty with white balance on my V1 - "cloudy" is usually too yellow, and "sunny", too blue. Bev

Mods: Please remove the duplicate comment of mine and this one. Yeah... I know... I have a bit of an O/C streak ;-)

Not suicidal, Arn. I don't think any of these guys have ever been killed or even seriously injured. They make these jumps look easy, but they are highly-trained professional athletes., who do this every day for a living.

Thanks for the great comments, everyone!

Love the colors and the appearance of floating on upper diver. Looks like suicide....

Wow, Jerry! Talk about things that fly! This is an excellent capture. Every component is wonderful. Maybe I should share this image with my young nephew, who at this time, is trying to work up his courage to dive off the high board.---Deb

Beautiful colors, lighting, and clarity, Jerry...nice catch of the flying forms of those cliff divers. So athletic and acrobatic. Well composed/cropped...nice shot. MFC
