Hi, Julie, I love this photo, but I find the other swimmers and the floats distracting. They draw the eye away from the wonderful action shot. If you cloned out the distractions, I think this would be a winner! As I said, though, great shot! Keep shooting! Jay #251270

Hi Jay!
Thanks for the remarks. I thought about cloning out the swimmers, but opted to leave them in because I felt it helped maintain some depth in the photo. :-) #1374873

Ohh Yeah Julie! Absolutely agree with you. Without that part of the pic ... I think it would feel like ... leaping right into a wall of water.

It also contributes quite a bit to the story line.

have fun,
