Lindsay Blamey

F a n t a s t i c !!! – Love the cropping on this one victor.. The positioning of the swimmers, the splash and the diver on the left make the most perfect composition!
Paul Vanzella

I agree with Blamey – So good Victor… the way you frame the image so carefully and enable what’s happenning within the square to captivate is just brilliant. Star quality Victor – all the way!!!!!
lizzy

Beautiful shot – terrific composition (the splash is wonderfully placed in the shot)
Nicole Goggins

Great shot! Is this Harold Holt Swimming Pool in Melbourne by any chance?
victor

thanks Wildthing, but no it’s not the Harold Holt pool, there’s no Chinese submarines in this pool.

Anthea Slade

This is an awesome perspective of a pool. Love the detail and the perspective.
victor replied

thank you Anthea, appreciate your comments, it’s one of my favourites too, I’ll have to turn it into a large canvas
Anthea Slade

Yes I think this would look stunning as a large Canvas. Love the luminous feel and the slightly voyeuristic quality of the work.
victor replied

VOYERISTIC!.....Ha…Ha…….I,ve just been Voyeristcerizing ENaLu”s latest work…. this is not voyeristic,...THAT”S voyeristic!
Then again I suppose it is, when you lookat the picture, just that when taking the shots, half a second isn’t enough time to think about voyeristic.
victor

VOYERISTIC!.....Ha…Ha…....I,ve just been Voyeristcerizing ENaLu”s latest work…. this is not voyeristic,...THAT”S voyeristic!
Anthea Slade

I agree that ENaLu’s work is certainly voyeuristic and beautiful :) But ‘the diver’ is another type of voyeuristic…from another perspective if you know what I mean. I totally understand that when you were taking the photo there was no time for voyuerism..I guess the voyeursim comes later:) Love this work. Look forward to looking at more of your work. You have a unique eye and perspective.
victor replied

thanks Anthea, many of my photos I see as seeds for paintings , this is one, and of course much of art is voyeuristic, there’s to much beauty out there not to be
victor replied

thank you for favouriting this Anthea and thereby reminding me to start a painting on it, should work just as it came out of the camera
Anthea Slade

My pleasure Victor…I look forward to seeing the painting…I am sure it will be beautiful because the photo is stunning.
Nikki Trexel

amazing!! these are perspectives i have never seen. i love the blur in all of this, it almost makes it feel like everyone is underwater themselves. great work!!
madworld

Great image, love your pov, excellent work
victor replied

thanks madworld,.....nice name
Mark Coward

Incredible shot. Do you ‘steer’ the plane with your knees?
victor replied

thanks for all your kind comments Mark, no, nothing that complicated, have 2 hands, framing and shooting only take 2 seconds once the airplane is positioned.
