Hmmmmm ... this one is both entertaining and disturbing at once. Your playfulness and creativity really shine through!

There's a well-placed diagonal in the image with the line that goes over your shoulder, up your neck and over your head. I like the placement of your body that gives enough room on the left to provide context (rather necessary in this image!). I also like that the goggles are white, the lightest area of the image, and my eye continues to return to them as a focal point.

I played around with cropping the top dark area, including that light spot, a bit of a distraction. I think I like it better, and it brings the goggles closer to the upper third. I also couldn't resist changing the cap color to complement the water color and create more depth. jj #621046

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.

I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
