    Pool Fun - Holga...

    I have been doing a lot of Holga stuff lately.
    So here is one I did recently of my son while we were swimming..
    What do you think?

    Hey Brian,

    I have to admit, I'm not a huge Holgamaniac, but I really like this shot. It almost looks like a water color painting. The colors and the swirls of light and water that you captured are really nice, and add a wonderfully distorted look to the image. Great shot!

    I agree with Michael, it does look like a watercolor painting.
    I like how the distortion from the water gets stronger on his shorts and legs. Really adds to the effect.
    I like it a lot,
    Mark.

    The color is really great, and I love the shot. Is it from underwater? Did you stick the camera in a ziplock or something?

    My son was underwater.
