Uncropped (it was shot with a 200mm prime), and I was afraid to edit out the annoying white specks because i think they're water spots, and therefore part of the picture.

looks like pattern for me, but overall to tight cropping for these object, prefer catch more water splash to give action power from swimmer into water.
Nice repetition and a cool moment, pehaps a slightly faster shutter would have given this a bit moe of a 'frozen moment' feel and a little extra crispness. 6
Great motion! I Love the repeating pattern here...the bodies, the red lines, the splashing. Only nitpick is the first swimmer's head being cut off. Nice job though.
Love this. Anytime I see swim pics, I have to comment. Great diagonal line. I wish the red lane markers were parallel with the horizon line though. Nice shot.
A bit soft on the focus (but whatcha gonna do - probably poor lighting) but I think this shot is also cropped a bit too tight. I feel like I want to see the front swimmers arms going into the water rather than just the splash coming up.
