My daughter Sylvia was the only sixth grade girl to make it to Districts this year. She swam the 100 yard backstroke.
400DO on a 1D4.

I wish I could shoot outdoor swimming, indoor pools have some of the worst lighting ever. SkipsPics.com

So the left side of the frame was parallel to your daughter's right extended arm. The current angle makes me dizzy and feels a bit unnatural.

Many thanks for the comments, guys. I do appreciate the feedback. Yes, this was a mid-morning outdoor meet. I was shooting towards the sun. Though there was a bit of haze and overcast.  Josh Smith

Thanks Mark! The swim coach gave me a deck pass for this meet. In return she gets free photos for the team scrap book. Josh Smith

If so, this may just be the BEST lite pool EVER. ISO 200, f4, 1/2000... holy crap! Awesome shot but I agree with you, the angle is disorienting and I got dizzy looking at it as well. Parallel arm to the frame would have been better. http://emjfotografi.com/

I like the focus on the backstroke race start - very nice to have just one swimmer in focus and good detail and color.
