We trust you.

Nice capture of the flash and I like the out of focus foreground flowers, provides layers within the image.

Tejal - I think that while the intent of your shot is good, I would suggest that some of the compositional decisions that you made resulted in an image that is weaker than it could be.

1. You shot from a very low angle, which brought the water lilies into the foreground, but at the cost of an overly busy background. Had you shot from a higher angle, you might have been able to hide the background by framing in a way that eliminated most of it.

2. You shot straight at the boy throwing the water up into the air; which in essence hides your subject behind all the water that he is throwing into the air. Had you shot from a different angle, I think you could have captured a clear image of the boy and the flying water. I suspect that would have made a much stronger image.

+1 to John's comment...although I agree with Manfred's assertion too.

Thanks for your valuable feedback Manfred. Yes I am also not not happy with the background. But your suggestion to take the shot from the higher angle....i think i would have tried that. It was absolutely not in my mind.

I have some shots, where the boy's face is clearly visible. I have tried some different angels at this place. I will post them very shortly. And thanks a lot once again.

I wonder what you think of this crop and slight vignette.

Helps narrow the viewer's focus.
