For the title you have chosen to show that it's a team sport, I think perhaps the moment the other swimmer takes over would have made it more believable. I am not saying this is someone having a morning swim. My point is, there's no way to tell that this is a team event. Well, of course the title is there - but I think it's the photograph that should tell the story.

nice color and nice shot. almost perfect yet im looking for a sport played by a team. swimming is a game played either by only 1 athlete or by team. this shot shows only 1.

Really nice shot, very crisp and clear. How do you keep your images clear when you compress for this contest? Mine keep coming out blurry. The original is really clear but then when I reduce it, it gets all icky looking.

Very well done! I like the contrast.

OK, I won't deduct because of team aspect. Swimmer looks a bit young for a "mens" freestyle though. On the whole it is a very nice shot. Composition and lighting are excellent. Water looks inviting. Only thing that bothers me is the swimmers closed eyes. Can't help but wonder if he can stay in his lane. Gave this a 7.

does not represent a team sport without the use of a title.. reliance on the title to meet the challenge is a big no no for me.. too bad it's a decent shot

I like this one, although if this was at a meet, wouldn't the boy be wearing goggles and a swim cap?

Nice stop-action capture, but doesn't convey the idea of a team sport, as swimming is mostly perceived as an individual sport. Now, if you had included a water polo ball...

I like how the water looks like blue jello that's been messed up in a container. Just has that texture.

Nice capture, but not very interesting composition-wise. The water is pretty.

very good - great composition, sharpness and colors

Excellent work. Nice lighting, composition and freezeframe. Water looks a little bit drab, so I might have tried a little Hue/Sat increase. Otherwise excellent.

very nice

Sorry, but putting 4x100 relay in the title doesn't make swimming a TEAM sport :)

Nice try though.

I would have entered this one in stopped motion. Good shot.
