Interesting colors. I might have cropped out more of the sky to accentuate the swimmer a bit more. Make the horizon more on the rule of thirds. I like the border. Looks like a rough day to swim!!
I have come back to this picture a couple of times, i find my eye being drawn to the boat each time. Shame because without it in frame it would be a great shot.
Would be nice if the swimmer were more prominent in the shot while at the same time maintaining the vastness of the body of water. This is another shot where I think the connection to the challenge is pretty nebulous. If the swimmer were coming up on the shore or if the shot showed some sort of victory or triumph I think it would be nicer. Will does not equal triumph. Plenty of people have lots of will and still fail in the end.
Nice capture - Love the tones in this - Great sharpness where it needs to be and I hope this does well - I really like it - The one thing that could make this image a lot stronger and that would be with cropping - The horizon is far too centered and there is a lot of sky which this picture isn't about - there is nothing in the sky of interest apart from the gull - I cropped it mid way down the sky from the top and it really gives this image more impact and helps us concentrate on the main subject - The swimmer - Still a great image
Too much negative space here I had to look for the swimmer- which is nice and sharp though. IMO it could benifit from less sky or even no sky with slightly different perspective. 7
