Tukad Unda Dam, Bali
Photograph by Lisa Hendrawan, Your Shot
This Month in Photo of the Day: The Stories Behind Your Shots
This dam is on a river called Tukad Unda in Klungkung, Bali. I framed the photo to make the dam look like a natural waterfall. Locals regularly bathe and wash their clothes here. It's also a fun place for the children to play. I adjusted the shutter speed to capture the arcs of water flowing from their buckets. —Lisa Hendrawan

I love everything about this photograph. The depth and the textures of the water in the foreground and background frame the scene beautifully. The bright colors of the pails stand out (how perfect that 3 are red with one teal) against a neutral background. The positions of the boys -- all standing a row but each in a completely different stance. The beautiful, curved swirls of water created as the boys toss the water from the buckets giving the photo yet another painterly dimension. The creme-de-la-creme is you have captured a wonderful moment -- children playing and having a terrific time. A day they will always remember. Congratulations on taking an absolutely fabulous photograph!
