Chance Robinson, of West Fargo, rises up out of the water to dunk the ball through the hoop during the Water Carnival at the Veterans Memorial Pool Thursday, July 21, 2011, in West Fargo, N.D. Dave Wallis / The Forum

The leaping subject gave him a better image size, but we also liked how he popped out of a clean background even in a chaotic pool.

Family and friends of Air Force pilot Capt. Eric Ziegler release memorial lanterns in his honor from the West Fargo High football field on Thursday July 7, 2011. Ziegler, who died in a training accident, was a 1999 graduate of West Fargo High School.  David Samson / The Forum

Besides the beautiful visuals, we liked how the people reaching to the sky started a nice S curve upward.

B.J. Maxson and Thomas Inocencio of the GrandForks Sherriff Department patrol the Hoeven Park neighborhood in their airboat as a Blackhawk helicopter delivering one-ton sandbags flies overhead in Minot on Monday, June 27, 2011. David Samson / The Forum

We appreciated how difficult is was for Dave to get both the airboat and the helicopter in the same frame.
