Entry Title: " Freefall"
Name:
Julian Abram Wainwright
, Viet Nam


Entry Description: These images were shot during the Men’s 10m Platform Diving at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. While they freefall towards the pool, in a captured frame you can see a body of tensed muscle, a contorted face and if you’re lucky, thousands of water drops flying off a spinning body or mane of hair. Sometimes, just as he leaps from the platform, the diver appears to hang midair like a dancer, a frozen moment of calm before they plummet to the water below.
