 Lucky to be able to find a swimmer with all the correct equipment. The reflective goggles work so much better rather than the non-reflective. This is Peter...he is a swimmer who is hoping to get a scholarship this year to college for swimming. What a pleasant young kid to photograph!!

Lights were set behind him and facing the camera for the flare. One very large reflector was placed in front of him to get the glare on the goggles and give a bit of bounce light onto his face.

Strong finish Jennifer, but the whole team was shocked this wasn't being voted higher. So creative, and so well done!

This flare isn't from the sun! This is too good. Clever thinking and I like that. The challenge doesn't prescribe sun flare only lens flare. Congratulations on the winner.

Only the third flash/strobe/globe image so far. Superbly clear and well conceptualised. Front page?
