This is great! Love the way the water globules are hanging from his ears and collecting at his eye. I can almost envision this scene in reverse before he comes up for air. Great shot, you have captured the moment precisely! Thumbs Up!

I've been sitting here for the past 15 mins trying to find something wrong with this shot. I can't...it's quite superb, so I'm giving it a ten.

A thumbs up from me too Thumbs Up!

Nice one Geoffrey!

The thing I truly love about this shot...is the manner in which you have captured the texture of the water, especially around the mouth/face area. It's very 3D, with body and a thickness I can actually feel/touch. It's this kind of 'presence' that makes photos come alive.
It's what I think of as the studio-designer look...which is far more common in indoor, magazine type still-life shots, rather than outdoor action ones such as this.
