I think maybe a tight crop of "The Dipper" would work better here. It would have him walking towards the light in the top right and make him the more obvious subject of the picture
While I think the geometry, color and light effect of the pool is interesting, the background is distracting and the nude gets lost in the composition. A tigher shot, or perhaps a steeper angle (if possible) would have worked better. Also, if the figure was floating, swimming, or perhaps completely under the water in some other pose this might have been better.
Is naked nude? This looks like a great shot of a back yard with a person enjoying their pool in privacy. Doesn't feel like a nude study to me. GREAT back yard, though!
very nice idea, almost wish to have a tighter crop here. The way the light reflects off of the water surface provided the perfect lighting - you should have made a better use of it.
I like this because it is very different from much of the stuff in this competition in the sense that its not in a studio, i like the "exploration" so to speak.
Well it is just a guy in a pool. I must admit, I like the colours and exposure and the composition is pretty good. It just doesn't cut it with the other pictures I have seen here.
Nice swimming pool! Wish this was a LOT closer to make more of the weird effect on the legs in water...then you could have called it "The Big Dipper"...:-)
