This is a picture of my sister in the UCONN Pool. She's on a full sports scholarship and is one of their top sprinters and fly swimmer.

Not a great photo, I greatly underestimated the shiityness of the lights that day and ended up with a lot of bad photographs. Too bad, I have some amazing diving shots from the 10meter board.

Not a whole lot done the photo. Some sharpening and some color adjustment.

Great sports shot... I would have been chicken to do so myself, but the camer would need to be almost at water level (yep, even lower) to really get the dramatic effect it needed. The background shows too much from this angle. It is a very cool idea despite the nitpicks!

at least this image is different the light seems to be a bit bright and the detail is soft but a nice image If you had cropped the back wall off it could be a really great image

A bit out of focus or motion blur. Could also do with a bit more contrast

IMVHO the flash is too present and the person looks very pale. Cool action shot and cool angle, nice and symetrical too.

I think you could have cropped this tighter and it would have more impact. the detail in the face and the splash of the water would make it more dramatic. good shot overall!

This is an excellent capture of a nice subject. I think the shot would look better with a bit more contrast and/or saturation, but it still looks good as it is. Nice job.
