Critique Club Review:
Exposure, lighting and contrast are all good in this piece. Focus and depth of field are done very well.
I wouldn't have amputated the diver's feet. He's going to need them. The person in the water is a distraction where (s)he is. Either a different camera angle, or relocating the swimmer so that it looks like the diver is taking the plunge to join the swimmer, would have worked well. I would not remove the swimmer. For me, the swimmer helps tell the story as to why the diver is taking the plunge. However, at this angle and distance, the swimmer tends to pull the eye out of the frame.
Although this was a basic edititng challenge, were I going for an advanced challenge, or going to print the image for my wall, I would have removed the small island in the background. It breaks up the smooth flow of the shorline a bit, and without it the solitude is magnified.
Overall I like the photo a lot. It tells a story, and captures the feeling of the title. Good job! |

| Nice...the guy stands out well. I wouldnt crop of his feet but instead the other person swimming, its bit distracting from concentration of main object. |

| Great setting, and good idea. Here's what I think would make it better: nobody in the water, model's arms in the same angle, and probably, in colour, and shot more from behind. Just my thoughts. |
