Nice capture! Sports are always a challenge. I like thethe pov and you crop selection. My only problem is beyond your control. It's a bit off to have the swimmer in lane 2 hitting the water so early, I'd love to have a nice arch showing on her back. But again, not something you can fix. 7
The vanishing point would've worked if you would have taken the picture from a different angle: either more to the right so that the swimmers would create a diagonal or at the front or back of the swimmers so that the dividing lines would converge at the end.
I'm a pretty liberal voter in terms of interpretation of challenge but this image presents no hint of a vanishing point or even of vaguely converging lines (to me) at all.
I gave this photo a 3. I think that if you had photoed it at a different angle it would illustrate the concept of a vanishing point better. Both the lanes and the swimmers "vanishing" into the water. Good shot though.
I loved this shot. It spoke to me in quite a few ways. For one, I was a swimmer myself, and this shot brings me back to the ten years I spent swimming competitively. Talk about nostalgia!! Plus, I loved the colors and the feel - I just wish it had been a bit brighter to really show the beauty of the pool and lanelines, not to mention the splashes, but I suppose you can't really control the weather! :)
I don't know if everyone will pick up on the vanishing points that I see - lines on the bottom of the pool, and most importantly, the swimmers' bodies, but I found them! I gave you a 10. Nice job.
Hmm. A rather untraditional way to show vp - perpeddicular rather than parallel - but it works for me! Great colors and perfect timing. It is amazing the swimmers all have about the same repeating shape.
To get the "vanishing point" idea, you should have taken the photo from the end of the pool, rather than the side. It's a good shot, but wasted in this challenge.
awesome capture. the vanishing point however is not visible from this angle. 90 degree angle of view rotation to emphasize a parallel convergence of swimmers and each of the swimming lanes should have done it.
