About Taken once again over the Easter period I spent in Shoal Bay, New South Wales, Australia. This very old man walked into my frame as I was set up for a slow shutter shot. He swam there every morning.

Adjusting quickly, I chose 5.6 at 1/15th to expose at ISO 100. This is uncropped and re-sized to 800px. I adjusted the curves and burned the sky only a little.

Great shot. I like the grain (film like) look of the image and threatening sky. Well Done. (might have liked the swimmer to not be right in the center- you know that old "rule of 3rd's" thing)

Excellent capture, Mervo! Is a talking picture like a life story!

Hi Mervo,
I like the lighter band in the sky above the man in the image. It adds a lot of drama to the shot. The slight motion blur in the surf works well in this one too.

This is a very good image that has obviously had a lot of thought put into it. I find it frustrating sometimes when I see good images like this one without a lot of comments. Sometimes I think we are losing too many photographers at this site.

This one reminds me of an image that I saw a long time ago. The difference being that the man was closer and turned around. He was big and rotund like this guy and he had on a rubber bathing cap and goggles. The image was also B&W. Very dark, taken in the 50's or 60's.

Mervo, I would have thought it to be a good seascape, but the figure walking into the shot gives it such great interest! BTW, the light on the figure is superb!

Mervo. Me impresiona el cielo tragico de estafoto. El paisaje es fantastico. Felicitaciones
