| Great shot. The noise isn't that big of an issue to me, mostly because it is more noticeable in the background and not on the subject. The shutter speed is a nice compromise between stopping all the droplets in the air and still letting some motion into the photo. A tad bit of the elbow seems to be chopped off though. |

| Nice action show. Great capture with the face. I agree with the noise. Is this photo cropped very much? |

| Love the action of the hand and the movement of the water, it really shows how hard this athlete was swimming. |

| Nice capture, I like the sharpeness on your subject's face and the sense of motion we get from the blurred hand, completed by a good composition. |

I really like this, the motion of his arm with the clearness of his face and the water works well. I like the framing of the lane markers as well.
As for noise I ran a noise ninja pass @ strength 5, smothness 5 with the usm @ 50% @ 1.2px on the whole image and then just a quick selection of the lane marker and the water above it and ran another pass @ strength 10, smothness 10 and usm 0 and then another quick selection on his hand... |

| That's a great action shot, captured at the perfect moment. The noise isn't terribly bad - did you try to remove it? |

| great capture. I would love to try to photograph competitive swimming! I don't know if you've "fixed" the noise, in this, but it is barely noticeable to me |

| Great shot Chris - I think the noise in this is more than acceptable - what with the poor lighting and an ISO setting of 1600 |

| VEry hard to shoot at swim meets. I could never get a good shot. This looks real good though. Something you might see in the local sports section of the newspaper. |

| Excellent capture! It is frustrating to shoot in poorly lighted venues, but you have managed to capture the essence of this swimmer's power and drive to win. |

| Fantastic action shot! You can really feel the power of those strokes! The noise is nominal I think, and doesn't detract at all from the main focus of the shot. |

| I like the motion blur of the arm while the rest of the shot is so clearly focused. It gives the feel of a race. An interesting thing to me is how much his/her? mouth looks like a fish mouth. |
