Funny you should mention swimming Peter. I have been to this park twice recently and BOTH TIMES have seen some crazy Swiss go swimming in that cold water. And I don't mean with a wetsuit. They get in with swimming trunks and nothing else. By the time they step out there skin is red and angry looking. Crazies!

if you could put up the original Athena, I could possible show you the effect of a duotone with copper and red sienna.

If you don't mind, i prefer the term assignment, the essence of these series is to learn, not to be the best.

a familiar feeling
As for your image: very nice, but have you considered cropping left/right hand side.

the focus is here more on the surroundings than on the water me think.

Lori, a nice series, but you've got me pondering. What does it represent?

please take some more Kat. The reflections are nice, but my eye always goes up to the trees, not to the water.
