    hehe….are you afraid to get nude Jo? Love the colour of the water….what about the guy pointing? It’s like he’s pointing to the gut in front as if to say “It was him that pissed in the water…not me”

    What appeals to me most about this image is the design aspect… the pinpointed loaction of the figures within the given space… and also your tonal work, love the strong contrasting tones… Great image!

    Like seeing it from over the basket of a Hot Air Balloon, you feel you don’t want the ride to end but you really want to be down there enjoying the cool water.
    We just can’t be pleased!
    Great perspective Jo.
