Great work, really cool stuff :)

shawhouse, 10 months ago

well done. rare to find an image to admire.

paul777, 10 months ago

This is so close to my heart, you wouldn’t believe. This reminds me when i was a kid, i use to visit an open air pool with dive stages like this. I had so much fun and it played a large part in my childhood. Sadly it’s no more, it’s been filled in!!!!!! Anyway getting back to your shot, this is great shot because you’ve got three divers off the boards doing obviously different dives, loads of divers chomping at the bit to dive. And you got a great foreground of a bather dripping wet…....absolutely stonking. Love it!

Benjamin Scheurer, 10 months ago

love this action shot….so many brilliant details!

Nicole Goggins, 10 months ago

fantastic shot!

Belinda Leopold, 10 months ago

Great shot!!! Really very good!!

anil, 10 months ago

Great timing, the difference in scale and perspective from the foreground to the background is amazing.

Melody, 10 months ago

I wish I could find myself in Geneva :) Brilliant, brilliant photo!

chriso, 10 months ago

Great shot. I’m amazed there were that many airborne at once. I can see why you had such success with this shot. I’ve never been to Geneva but this isn’t a shot I would have thought you would get there!

Michael Lane, 10 months ago

Great capture! Really awesome shot

Basia McAuley, 10 months ago

What amazing timing!

houk, 10 months ago

ltruskett, 10 months ago

what an exceptional capture. good fortune to be there at that time and obviously a very good photographer pressed the magic button.

kristian94, 9 months ago

great one!

groovergreen, 9 months ago

I remember seeing this in the Linden show but have only just realised why it works so well — it’s the contrast between the cool, modernist lines of the high-dive, the silhouetted figures in repose and the contemplative man in the foreground vs the wild, exuberant bods in mid-air that makes this pic so funny and charming!

Mark Hayward, 9 months ago

Thankyou groovergreen. I appreciate you taking the time to analyse the shot and comment. Thanks for the feedback!

Mel Brackstone, 9 months ago

This is a fabulous capture, and very deserving, congratulations!!!

Mark Hayward, 9 months ago

docophoto, 9 months ago

Awesome with a lot of tension. Great pic.

Kerry McFarland, 8 months ago

That’s amazing you caught all of them in the air like that. They look like a bunch of dolls flopping over the side! Great shot!

berndt2, 8 months ago

Fantastic shot and very well captured – just amazing to see three people so impossibly well captured in midair, with more people still preparing to join them. I also like the figure in the foreground, his positioning connects him directly to the action going on behind him

gavolo, 8 months ago

Awesome

Rhys Jones, 8 months ago

What a shot, looks like a lot of fun, congrats

Yves Rubin, 7 months ago

This is so fun, and an outstanding moment Mark! I am Swiss and have been to Geneva many times, but it would not have occurred to me to check this spot!

MuscularTeeth, 7 months ago

fabulous shot !

Tracy King, 7 months ago

Wow, they do look a bit crazy, especially the guy upside down. Fantastic timing, brilliant shot, well done. and congratulations on your award.

christophe, 7 months ago

It seems like they’re going to kill themselves & that they’re pushed into the airs by a invisible force. Great timing and composition. Congrats for the award Mark.

waxy, 7 months ago

Amazing shot! It would be cool to see another version without the context of the platform. But anyway… nice work!

peter hoenderdos, 7 months ago

Yeah. I like these kind of shots. I have something similar. But with old people and they don’t dive. But the atmosphere is the same.
