[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A man jumps into the water in the Brazilian savanna. The savanna can be found in the states of Minas Gerais, Goias, Tocantins, Bahia, Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul, and occupies 1.5 million to 2 million square kilometres. The Brazilian savanna is called "cerrado" and is characterized by vast flat extensions covered by a thin layer of turf with occasional gnarled trees. The weather in these regions is warm, very rainy in the summer and dry in the winter.

Nice sunny photo, but it really does not look very save to me.
Good moment to take a photo. Hope he was fine ...how about a WS to show that he was well when he came down? :)

Hi Steve, beautiful photo, you have perfectly picked the moment of the jump, that I hope is ended well
Ciao Silvio

Excellent frozen moment well framed withthe rock aside, very pleasant and sunny to see with a perfect finishing enhancing the moment.

Hi Steve,

I love the timing on this one, but in spite of needing to get it just then, it's obviously not a rushed shot. The composition is quite lovely, filling the space appropriately, and highlighting the action shown in the picture. It also sets off in me the question of whether or not I would want to do such a thing; I think it would be scary, but my drive to experience would impell me to try it out.

;-D

one more great photo!
