It's seem like a copycat of internationaly publish "Water Symphony" photos by Balinese photographer (metadata 15 July 2005): http://www.fineart-portugal.com/photo/12120/water_symphony

I like this kind of idea:

This picture almost brought me to tears! I can just feel the children's happiness! I love it!

A shot similar to this had won the Grand award in DCMAG, 2008. This is similarly beautiful and cativating. The posture of the two boys on the right has clinched the issue. That was the decisive moment!

nice one. seen a variety of similar shots and many of these have won competitions. these are pre-arranged shoots in klungkung, bali but nevertheless the images are really good.

Piow Kan Boh, captured the fountain of youth with this photo. I'm sure this " Fun Time" photo will be a international favorite for generations.

this one is winner! i love atmosphere and the colors!

Regarding Paolo's remark about seeing this photo blown up in a lab, I wonder: is it possible to make a big print from such a small picture published on the internet? that would be really infuriating if it is true.

Love the dancing of the water...shot well taken.

Hello everybody . . . I saw this photograph few weeks ago hanging as a really big size print in a photo lab in Italy, and now I found this photo here as a entry in a contest. To be honest the first time a saw this photo I thought it was made by the photo lab owner, but now I can realize that I was wrong, and I am wondering whether he is allowed to show the photo in his own shop without paying copyright (I suppose) and without caption or anything else.

Thank you
Paolo

I can just hear their squeals of joy!

It's amazing! The set up of the swirling water is not easy!!!

Photographic excellence in its highest level.You simply lost in their joy.

This is a remarkable photo. The swirls of water from the buckets captures the joyful energy.

The children looks having big fun from the water.

Amazing shot! This photo truly reveals the photographer's skills and impeccable judgment/sence of timing in capturing the essence of the moment.

This a vey high quality shot. Kid's joy blends well with splashes of water. Wonderful.

Great lighting, great water movement and kids act are all snapped in the right timing. I love this one

This photo stands out from the rest. A very professional shot.

Great moment, good timing and speed freezing the movement of water!like it very much!

lovely expression!

Wonderful striking shot! A picture’s showing a memorable fun-time of childhood with splashing water at the waterfall. In that split of second, the photographer captured this picture just at the right timing, moment and lighting.

Very exciting!

Magnificent photo with vibrant color and super sharp! It's perfect blend of artistic expression and technically challenging photo (as commented by person above).

Challenging because the shutter speed has to be slow enough in order to have the looonggg splash/swirl but not too slow that the kids movement become blur.

Love this photo. The movement and care free nature

A great shot of kids at play! Water movement was well captured. Kudos for a GREAT shot!

Wonderful shot. Good timing and good lighting.

Very nice shoot. It is amazing shoot with the good shutter speed and timing. The lighting was great.

I love this shot. It shows how much fun the kids are having by the waterfall and i must agree, the water movements is simply awesome. this shot is simply amazing!

I love this photo - there is amazing movement and the water is incredible. Great work.

This is such a gorgeous picture! But I wonder if some of the swirling water driplets are cloned. The ones high up don't seem to be coming from the splasing buckets. Altered or not, the picture is magnificent.

This is wonderful!

COLORS ARE RIVETING! I LOVE THIS PHOTO!
