I hope you don't mind, but I gave it a little crop. I love the irony and thought it should stand out more, which meant focusing on the sign and the swimmers, and getting rid of the background, which has nothing to do with what you want to point out. It also got rid of the heavy black windows, which were distracting.

I like how you caught the moment! It's a great statement.

I think it's a nice image, and I have to say I love the crop Kelly gave it. That was my first thought when I saw the original, and Kelly did it exactly the way I would have. Makes the subject so much clearer! Cool catch, I like it!

Take care,
Eva

More depth of field (less distracting background) would have helped more than a tighter crop, which makes the kids look "caved in". They are the main subject and they need space to 'breath" in this photograph like in the first shot.
