On the blocks

This year, I agreed to photograph my daughters swim team. I wanted to get some different angles and viewpoints from the meets. Here is an image taken of a racer that is set and the race is about to start.

Interesting, and I would like to see some more "swimming photos" from you, maybe over in the General Gallery or so - my daughter is very much into competitive swimming, too, so our daughters share a "hobby" (it is hard work, actually!). And for different angles on swimming or competition photos I recommend you check out this link:

This guy is specialised on photographing swim meets and events here in Germany. (There are THOUSANDS of photos there).

#1: Partial head out of focus is distracting. I think you should either make that person main subject, capture whole head, leaving blured background, or take a shot from a different angle (which would be tricky as you're not a moskito capable of standing onto water surface)

#2: Again partial head, plus distracting part bottom left.

Both: Too dark boddies, try using fill-in flash
