Nice and sharp jethro and great news to hear you've been 'allowed' to shoot there...I'm sure I can speak on behalf of everyone here, we look forward to more of your shots. I think this one would look good in B&W too!

Hi Jethro
congrats on being given the "green light" to shoot officially.

For me, I think this shot might have been stronger if there was a little more room around the boy and framed a bit higher, so there wasn't "as much" water in the foreground & a bit more room above the ball....but that's just for my personal taste.

Perhaps another idea...if you havent tried this already...is to take a few shots when he follows through to throw the ball (just as it's leaving, or about to leave, his hand - with the splashes of water trailing the arm etc...)

Just an idea, anyway...

Good luck with your shooting and I look forward to seeing more from you. This would be a great sport to photograph..... :)
