I love the expressions and the action going on here in this underwater shot. Shooting underwater has got to have many challenges to overcome to get a good picture I would think. You captured the joyful mood and emotion hands down. But, as much as I like the action, the sharp details of the models, their facial expressions and body pose I still think there is room to improve this image. First, the shadows cast at the bottom of the pool distract from the models I would have liked to see them free floating in the watery space for twofold reasons. Having them hang in space give the impression of weightlessness and fluid motion as they take the plunge. Second, there would be no distracting shadow to take attention away from the action going on or the models. Next the contrast seems a bit flat mayhap that is from the water reflections, the exposure or both. Bumping up the contrast levels or highlight/shadows would make this pop visually a bit more. I have been debating whether to suggest if this would look better in B&W as opposed to color. The advantage of the B&W is that if the conversion is done right is that the tones, textures and main subjects would visually pop off from their watery green-blue environment/background. The disadvantage is that it might not be readily recognizable as an underwater scene. Still a very good action and emotive scene - bumping up to a 7. |
