Splash II

My youngest brother landing in the water at the end of the slide, almost on top of one of his friends.

Pentax K-x - 1/1000 sec - f/5.6 - ISO 800 - ~27mm

Daylight.

Used GIMP to crop, then went and cropped it again. Used auto levels, manual levels (including playing with the midpoint slider) and manual curves. Liked the manual levels adjustment best and scaled for web.

I wanted to make each day be significantly different. This is taken on a different day, from a different angle, but is pretty similar to Splash. I like his expression in this one better, and the composition / action in the other.
