Cool pattern, very clear water. the blue on the top is a little distracting

very crisp. I like the little added sharpening, it ads more detail to the splashing water. the water makes the pic...good job and good luck! ds

Definately an action shot. Love the stopped motion of the water droplets all around the swimmers. Doesn't look cold, but I'll take your word for it. The lighting is good. No annoying shadows or bright spots, so it looks like the weather was cooperating even though it was cold. The angle is good for the shot as well. I think that it was good to capture the splashes and water droplets. Good job. ~Heather~

Bah -- the heck with that! We have a group here in Pittsburgh that does this every New Year's also. I have trouble jumping into a pool in the middle of summer! Then again, any time you can see babes in bikinis in the middle of winter, it can't be all that bad! Nice shot -- I'm going to grab another blanket now... :)

very nice, the depth of field makes this shot pop nicely.

Great shot. I like the little starburst on the lower drop.

Wonderfull clarity and colorful background. Like the cropping too.
The star reflection is just so well set and not too strong that it increases the briliance of the image while not taking overhand.
Good luck!
