We had a party for a group of kids, and I took some pictures. Trying to think of some different ways to make them interesting, I came up with these (although the methods are nothing new). What do you think?

WB seems way off in both pics. Shutter speeds might have been too slow as well. A while back, someone posted some vacation shots of kids at the pool using fill flash that completely froze the action of the water and the kids jumping in.

Maybe try a search on 'pool' and see if you come up with something.

The white balance is off because of LR adjustments used to try to get a different look for the shots. These are not intended to reflect actual or accurate renditions of the colors, etc. Also, a slow shutter speed was chosen to show the frenzied action of 15 kids doing what kids do in a pool - run, jump, splash, float, etc.

I was going for something a little more emotional than a static shot of a kid in a pool.
