I agree that you've found a better place in the composition for the swimmer.
It would've been nice if she'd hit that mark at the right phase of her
stroke. I've found swimmers to be tough subjects to photograph, because
most of their stroke is ungainly and unphotogenic. There are only a few
momen
it doesn't seem odd that someone might go to the
shore and have reason to use a cell phone.

Here's a Q&D adjustment to the placement of the swimmer. I'm not
suggesting it's a better photo, but just putting it forth as an example of
how a slight diffeence ~may~ affect the feel and content of a photo.
Compare the orig and this and let me kn
Thanks Frank. Glad you like it.
I don't have the temperament for street photography, although I love it as a
genre. So '"figures in a landscape" is as close as I get, and I try when I
can to get incidental human subjects going about their business in
interesting ways.

Hi!
Why?
Seems to me the photo has interest with the swimmer there. That's what
the photog initially saw (I think) and is part of the scene.
The photo is not an entry in a contest, seems to me, but like most
out-on-the-street photos, little more than an interesting catch. A good,

The swimmer has been a major sticking point amongst several viewers. Some
can't identify the object as a swimmer, others 'get it' right away. It
could be that monitor variation plays a part, but I suspect that cultural
variation is a bigger issue.

Anthony, there is this Swedish Vocal Jazz group called - "The Real

Because it's not clearly a swimmer, the setting is not
clearly a pool, and it detracts from what I thought
was supposed to be the get-away-from-it-all, bucolic
atmosphere of the shot.
Your distance-per-unit-volume may vary.

Hi Anthony
I just mentioned taking away some of the top as I usually think in 3:2
dimension and if you crop
some of the left you would have to compensate to keep it at 3:2. Others seem
to care far less for

I know what you mean regarding traditional composition. The businessman
here is deliberately on a Golden Section, so that he'd be the strongest
element. His powerful black and white attire against so much monochromatic
blue was a bonus. Even when I cropped the picture, I was careful to keep

Thanks for the comments, Marnie.
In fact I didn't appreciate the surrealistic air to the picture, but now
that you mention it, I see it. Guess it was too familiar to me to see it
analytically.

this shot has some potential for me. It could be an ad for some kind of
