This is an excellent shot, with good use of dramatic wideangle perspective. You definitely captured the "decisive moment" here. What's more, you give a real sense of place: I can feel the heat and see the urban sprawl right up against the sea. Taking this shot in high-contrast black and white gives the image a unique look. In general I like it, but I wish it wasn't quite so contrasty. In particular, I wish I could see a bit more detail in the face/figure of the boy at left, and the people and costline in the distance. However, this is still a stand-out photojournalistic travel image.

Everything in this photograph compounds. Brilliant.

Amazing, and that diver looks like a seagull heading for the open sea.

Wonderful picture. I had a look at the rest of your pictures, and I find them really great. I will take your pictures as a reference because they are technically very good, and because you can see through them an interesting personality and a sensitive photographer. Well done!

A very good shot indeed! Try to clone off the sunreflextions on the swimmers backside.

great shot
the b&w really works well with this shot and the reflection of the sun across the water looks great
the only trouble is the water looks a bit shallow for diving into
well done

I really like it, but I would definitely do something about the lens flare. For some reason it's the first thing I noticed.

Muy buena foto, el contraluz aumenta el dramatismo de la escena. esa parte del malecón es muy peligrosa y bañarse allí con ese salto, es un acto heroico!!! me gusta mucho tu foto porque deja abierta la composición a la acción. felicidades!!!
