Nikon D40X
1/500, f11, -1/3EV, 82mm (35mm eqv)
ISO 400, No flash

I saw these kids jumping into a very large hole in the sand and new that with a continuous shutter I would be able to capture some of their emotion and energy. This image exceeded all my expectations.

This is my first post, of may I hope, to the DPS forums. That said I have a fairly serious amateur photographer off and on for over 15 years now. I would appreciate any feedback on this a future posts to help update and polish my skills. Thanks!
