taken at a local swim meet. convert raw, almost all automatic settings, USM alot because of lens softness and a curve. slight use of shadows/highlight layer. no crop thats it!!
Post challenge:
Thank you everybody for your great votes and comments. I am really proud of this photo as it is nearly straight out of the camera and has nearly no PP whats so ever. Thanks again.

Boy, this is going to be a close challenge I think. Some great shots and yours should be in the top 10 if not the top 5. Great sharpness, no motion blur. Really good job!
This is very hard shooting scenario, but you've done a great job with it. The color of the water and skin is right on, and the lighting is beautiful, and it freezes the motion. Well done!
