Studio light with a white umbrella in the water, powered by my Innovatronix Explorer. The water was way too cold for this, but we survived.
Thanks for all the comments!

The image is just stunning, I love it. I just checked out your portfolio - there are some great portraits in there. My only problem was I felt this was a bit of a stretch for the environmental portrait - I couldn't link the headphones to the background at all. I didn't drop my score too much though, without the headphones would have been on topic, but not as strong an image... made me think hard about what to vote!
If anything the headphones gave the image it a wonderfully abstract feel... a 10 from me in "outdoor portraits" for sure.
Oh man! I really thought you would finish above me! 7+ and not even a top 10! Well I anyway think this shot rocks and meets the challenge dead on. You´ll ribbon soon enough thoug I´m sure :)
Revitalizing ... different. The sum of the parts; the sun, the water, the reflection all complete this pure environment and human form. The darker sky at the top and the dark water at the bottom make a natural border.
I am dying to know how you achieved this shot, the water is so black and beautiful. Can't wait for the challenge results. You got a perfect 10 from me. Well done.
I'm having a hard time with this - I don't see the Environmental Port connection. If it were in the Self Port I'd vote a 10. I'm going to have to ponder this some more ... I shall return.
Alright - I'm back ... had you lied to me with the title and said "The Open Water Swimmer" or something like that I'd have gone for it. As it stands I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt: 10.
Composition, lighting, reflections, use of the sun: all very very good.
Beautiful photo and I must admitt that I think it comes from Iceland because it is so perfect ;) But you don't just jumb into the see here in Iceland so I am not sure. Could be a ad or cover on a CD. Perfect photo that deserves 10.
That is freekin amazing. the lighting here is exceptional. The reflection is the icing.
9 and fave. might be a 10 when I get a chance to look at hoome.
Wow! The lighting, clarity, texture, color, everything is so amazing. It's like a realistic 3d image. I could just reach out and touch it. Truly amazingly cool. If only I could give an 11!
oh wow this one's good...should ribbon, if not that then at least top 10...excellent. You seem to have perfected the use of a reflector here...brilliantly lit!
