Another one of my favorite shots from the weekend...just cuz I liked the way the camera caught the water in mid air and the swimer got "bokehed"...

Without seeming picky, the 'PROOF' watermark is so big and bold that you seem to have defeated the object of the post!

Hi, i like them , the higher shutter speed ones are best. I find it very hard to iron out the colour balance in any pool shots i took. For this reason number 3 is my fav.

I'm with Nippon. Generally, the big "O" from PROOF is blocking the "water beard". Next time, move the watermark down a bit or lighten the opacity so we can actually see what you want us to see.

Also, from what I can see...it seems the color is off. It looks a little red in the highlights and blue/cyan in the mids/shadows. Kinda give's them a purple feel to me.

You're joking aren't you. the "proof" was the first thing I saw in 2 & 3. I love the first shot. That's a real Blue beard he's got.

Its wierd. When I first look at them I skim though them very fast cuz, well I PPed them and picked them to put up and all that, and when I got down to the bottom post and read the "proof" was still there I was like, no way!

I never went back up to look. Well, this time I opened the page skimed down the pictures to the bottom and read the last post. BUT, this time I went BACK UP and looked again and its there now. It just doesnt com up when the pictures first load on my computer. It takes a second to show up....LOL

Yes, I do see it now....
