Swimming ~ Foggy Morn....

[Jim Fenton]

Two simple perhaps? I've debated this one and decided I like it......your thoughts?

Last Sunday morning in the fog in fairly calm conditions.

I like it i.e. minimal colour and I am sure you thought about it too- what would it look like in monochrome? I suspect possibly even better?;)

[Jim Fenton]

Interesting idea....I'll have to try that over the weekend.

[Marc Mol]

Often the simplest things are best, good example here Jim.;)
Good use of EV also.

Jim, this works for me. Johnathon's idea for a B/W would be an interesting variation too.

Cheers,

I like it -- good comp and HA. One more winner in your high-key series.

[DanWalters]

Does make for a very simple image! I really like it.

[Stu Bowie]

The high key works for me, with a good low perspective captured. Simple swimming pose. if this were mine, I would maybe crop a little tighter.

[Daniel Cadieux]

It works because of the simplicity. Although I realize it was foggy I find the yellowlegs looks a bit washed out...I would try darkening it a bit, or at least the midtones (while keeping the BG as white as it is now). I also wonder how it would look like tucked closer to the LLC (but not too close!).

Well done Jim, I love high key stuff!!

Jim, I love the comp. w/ just a sliver off the back. Very nice looking image with a lovely mood.

I love the high key look and the pano crop as well as the swimming shorebird. I would not mind seeing the BLACKs and mid-tones a bit blacker.
