 Shot from a window below the water at a nearby wave pool. The kid is actually a few feet above me after making his dive.

I didn't really do much of anything to the colors here -- since he's underwater and the pool is blue, it's basically overwhelmingly blue.

The blue is a good idea, I don't think I'm too crazy about the bubbles though. I don't think I would trust my camera underwater. Good pic and good luck.

I like this picture a lot. I love the blues, and the negatice space helps set up your subject

This is great! I love the blueness of the water and the expression on his face is perfectly captured. Just a terrific shot!

One of the best uses of negative space the whole week. This shot has action, and the neg space highlights that action. I was hoping to see a whole lot more shots like this. 9
