2.44 - "Needs Work" 

This is from my first ever underwater shoot. I used my Panasonic LX10 and a Dicapac bag. I had two 600w tungstens above the surface shining directly onto the model, Kelly Roe. This was at an indoor pool but there was a large window casting a flood of light into to pool. I brightened the artificial lights as much as possible and stopped down so that the model would really stand out from the background.

I really love this. Just relax your body and let it flow. Her left leg sweeping down though distracts from the whole feeling of falling I get from the shot. I would have left the leg like the other one and just let the bubbles come from her nose and mouth.

Great idea and execution

Thanks John! I totally agree. With this being each of our first time doing an underwater shoot, body control was quite a bit more difficult than we imagined. I appreciate your thoughts!

Yes I know that problem. Having a model that doesnt make a blowfish face is the first step, the rest will follow. :)

Hahaha so true!!!

heres the winner ..great shot

Wow, thanks Joseph! I appreciate it!

this is a 4 from me - fstoppers is a tough crowd eh ?

No kidding haha thanks for the compliment! I'm definitely happy with the results considering it was my first underwater shoot and shot on a point and shoot camera!
