i love the boldness in the colors on this, but i also thing that cropping at the top of the pool like wehrmacher did adds to the image by removing background distractions. Another thing that I think could have been cool would have to had a person up in the top right corner of the pool either swimming or diving in, giving the sandals and shades an owner. Just a thought though.

I like the POV, leading lines and bold colors.

I really like the lines. I keep thinking of the invisible man when I look at this :)

Comment by wehrmacher:
Nice shot.

What I really like are the lines of the brick pool edge disappearing back into infinity somewhere. I am not sure that cropping off the shot at the end of that edge wouldn't add to the strength of those lines. If I were really ambitious, I might try lengthening the pool edge so that it came closer to vanishing. The actual vanishing point is about the top of the bottom row of blocks in the wall behind, which also happens to be at about 1/3 of the width of the frame. Cloning in the pool water to fill; well, just a thought.

Anyway, very nice work.

Sorry, couldn't help myself. Here is what I was thinking, I guess. Just different.

I like what you've done. The contrast and crop both work nicely to make an interesting shot better.

Would it help to clone out the pool toys in the upper right? Maybe replace them with a bush? It isn't a big deal, but they don't really add to the shot.

i like your POV on this one, and the way the eye travels finally into the pool, which is quite fetching

Nice subtle processing to add just enough depth to the color. And cool shot - very southern Cal. :-)

Very nice angle, I feel as if I am lying there dipping my hand in the water.
