Nice silhouetted subject. Good color on the bg.

Another nice silhouette photo with nice colors to add even more impact. Nice job.

The silhouette works well, and the negative space complements it perfectly. I do find the silhouette a bit boring. I think it could have improved the photo with a bit more definition on the swimmer. The lighting is very harsh in the pool, with the upper-right corner losing all detail. I don't agree with the semi-panorama crop of this shot. When I look at a photo, one question I always ask myself is how well it would work being displayed in a gallery, and I think more pool on top would make this shot feel a bit more natural.
