    Question Swimmer - Holga....

    This is another from my recent trip to Mexico..
    I saw this while lazily lounging, with a drink(or two) around the pool...
    What do you think?

    Re: Swimmer - Holga....

    Interesting shot and great colours! I have been staring at it for a while, it certainly has a kind of dream-like beauty to it. I like the way that the legs are distorted by the movement of the water but the left leg is perhaps slightly too distorted in comparison to the right?? It is a lovely shot though and I really like the position of the arms with the hands facing upwards, that is really well captured, particularly after a drink or two!!

    Thanks
    Herriot

    Nice shot. The fades and quirkly colors reinforece the water and mexico. Kinda what Holgas are all about, isn't it? Not that this is necessarily a bad thing, but it occured to me that if it didn't have the Holga "effect" it would be pretty boring and almost a throwaway shot.
