I took this shot of a stunning residence on Felicite island in the Seychelles. The pool is in the ceiling of the living room and I used a flash to light up the model through the pool. It was challenging to position the flash such that it wouldn’t create reflections. I composed several exposures to balance the flash with the interior and the exterior light.

Better hope that pool is sturdy forever haha!

Although I gave it a 4, I can't see anything that could be improved. Great composition, timing, and exposure. Great job!

Sorry how is this a your image if you are in the photo?

Usually, I set up my composition, go into the frame and trigger the shutter with a remote. But in this instance, I had to ask an assistant to press the shutter.
