 Originally titled "Water Gas Mask", due to the water tube dragging off the model's face, this photo was mostly luck.
The new name "I Told You, They Know How To Swim", refers to the quote "I Can't Drown My Demons, They Know How To Swim."
Model's name is Jared. Taken at night using built in camera flash.

Taken with SONY DSLR A3000

*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An interesting image that is assumed to meet the challenge.

A great action capture that has frozen the moment well. The flash has added an extra vibrancy to the image. Given the pleasing dark background it would be a lot better without the distracting lights and reflection, I think these would improve the overall impact if they were cloned out. I can see your reasoning behind the amended title but the new title only really means anything if you've heard the quote which I haven't and probably many others here haven't either. This is probably reflected in your score nd helps demonstarte the importance of a suitable title.

Thanks for your submission, apologies for the delay, Sid

Great timing and control of the flash reflecting off the water.

Back to comment. I gave you a 10 before. This is so good! I could see this in a artsy magazine or on my wall!
