Uh-oh! For the life of me, I can't figure out what the subject matter of this image is, beyond the obvious presence of water. I'm guessing that it is three children with floating devices at the edge of a pool, but I could be off by a mile.
Great, funny title and a good use of the photo's long shape. Black and white gives this an "old fashioned summer fun" feel, too. However, it's hard to tell what this is given the extreme dark tones on all the kids' heads. I wonder what it looks like in color?
This cracks me up. For the LONGEST time I couldn't identify what that object was. I was actually thinking sea monster or something. And me a waterman all my life, who's been in his share of canoes and owns an Adirondack Guide Boat...
