Making a difference
Changing the world
The Yin and the Yang
The right and the wrong

World peace and global warming
Management corruption ruining the country's morality
Making more money than the amount you're spending
Finding your true love

Through the eyes of a kid
It doesn't seem like much
Splashing the shallow water
Seems like a much bigger challenge

When the most you can do
Is the least of your problems
It must mean you are still splashing
Still making small waves in your own little pool

That's the splash of youth
Simply enjoy it.

Hi Gilad,
Great shot; one of the best that I have seen so far.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Gilad,

A really interesting capture, the drops in the sunlight are wonderful. I would have aligned the horizon a bit more horizontal but nevertheless wonderful.

Hi Gilad!
A special composition! A very original combination of blue tones and black shadows. Quite impressive the image of the child against the sun light and I like very much how you placed him in the foreground. Excellent capture of the water splash! The square frame works well here, too! Congratulations for your inspired POV! Very well done!
P.S.
I like more this resubmittion image than your previous one for the tighter crop with a more powerful effect. Just my opinion!
Regards!

Hi Gilad,
I must agree with Paul, the best shot I ever saw, stunning, really, goes straight to my favs...
Vince

It's a nice semi-silhouette. He's obviously having barrels of fun plodding around in all of that gunk. You got very low here. You must have been nervous for you equipment, but your commitment paid off.

a classic in it own right. this to me should qualify for a NatGeo cover! have'nt seen such a beautiful image in recent months.

It's very special shoot Gilad, your technique in creating this is just superb and thanks for sharing it with us.

Hi Gilad,

This is a fantastic and outstanding shot. There are many things I like: the square format; the colours; the Sun's position; the boy's posture; the droplets everywhere; ... It's a little blurry in parts, but this is forgiveable, for it's just such a wonderful view. Thanks for that, and well done.

André

Hi Gilad:

This shot is so artistic. The presence of the child creates a silhoutte that also helps the water splash recognizable. Good composition.
