    Novel idea to use the water to give the sense of movement, instead of relying on blur, it keeps the detail that way.

    thanks Martin – I originally shot Jo facing the camera flicking her hair but realised something was going on that was better captured from the side.

    I believe I have this in my favorites but I never went back to comment. I really love this photograph, it is interesting and beautiful, I just love the water spray and the hair is caught at the most perfect time. The fact that she is wearing clothes adds more intrigue to the shot !

  • John Robb replied

    Thankyou Funky for taking the time to comment. it was just one of those magic moments when i looked at the LCD screen as confirmation to see what I had got.
