Submitted for #EmoticonOpus' Bounce contest!

I just had this idea yesterday;
and I rushed making it as soon as possible. I just hope I made it in time .____.
I realized this one has many flaws; (not that the others don't, xD)
therefore if you have any critiques or comments regarding this, I'll be glad to hear it. :)

Time : ...I lost track of time. about 4 hours, maybe. :shrug:
Frames : 44.


Thanks for viewing! :dummy:

Critique tiems! <3

Positives first. c:
The expressions on the emote suit him well, and the sun's expression is hillarious in the background.
There are some great effects in this, noteably when the diving board goes up and down and the emote falls down. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l…" width="19" height="19" alt=":la:" title="La la la la"/>
The shading on the emote's shiny and gorgeous and contrasts well with the sun and rest of the background.
The animation is very smooth, and that's something to be proud of. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l…" width="19" height="19" alt=":la:" title="La la la la"/>

Negatives now.
The emotes parachute should tilt as the emote draws left. There's really no reason the emote should land back on the diving board, with the way the parachute is facing and how straight it was falling to begin with. I'd also consider having the parachute fall back into the emote instead of floating away.
The sun's shading looks very strange, and overly dithered. The colors seem like a poor choice for me--too saturated and orange-y. If the sun is also to the right of the emote, the emote's light spot should be at its upper right, rather than its upper left, as that's the only visible light source in the emote. (In fact, it'd probably make a lot more sense for the sun to be on the other side of the pool >>).
Other than that, this emote is great, keep on keepin' on. <3
