    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

    This is almost too stark. Very realistic and close.

    Re: A Bit Serious, Are We?

    This is one of those photo's which almost does it but just misses if you know what I mean.

    If the lady was centred then it would be a much better composition, so crop a little off the left and that will make the composition much better.

    I would add a tad more light on the face to bring out the eyes. The focus seems a little soft here so you may also want to watch where the camera is focusing. The focus seems to be sharper on the bridge of the nose.

    Other than those minor points nice photo.

    Very close, but if that is the intent make sure you focus on the eyes. Fun shot though. Was she just getting out of the pool or completing a hard workout?

    thanks, I was also thinking too much on nose, and not enough on the eyes... all well. She was swimming in the lake...
