Nice idea for the challenge.

I wish this were bigger.

Great pic, excellent Idea for the challenge, BUT it needs to be bigger.

You've probably heard this already but this is way to small to evaluate. The subject seems to meet the challenge but I can't really tell much else about the photo at this size. My hunch is that the ladder in the foreground should have been eliminated by approaching the shot from slightly different angle of view--a bit more to the left. My eye is immediately drawn to it to no purpose.

It's small, soft and has way too large overbright area. Still, it's nice to see a unique manifestation of the theme.

This meets the challenge and seems to be a nice shot, but it is a bit difficult to comment because the image is much too small.

your photo is too small, use maximum 640pixel in your wide side. it will give your voters more details.

Very staged in appearance. The sky in the middle background is blown out. Maybe if you had composed the shot 3 step to the left getting the trees in the background?

Nice one but would have been much better if you had posted it at 640 pixels

Great idea for the challenge, but the picture is too small to judge properly. 4

It's too bad the picture is so small, great capture though.

I do not like this photograph. What obstructs me in this photograph is that the first swimmer is not whole. The luminosity is a little dull.

Nice concept.
 12/08/2005 03:21:00 PM
This picture is too small. Pics should be as close to allowable size as possible or too much detail is lost to be able to judge the photo. Like the concept though.

This is a perfect picture for the challenge! Too bad you submitted it too small.

Looks like you captured the moment, but I can't see any details - please give us more pixels to see.

All of my cousins used to swim, so this sight is very familiar.
 12/07/2005 07:39:12 PM
Perfect for this theme. I wish the photo was a bit bigger though!

Good capture. You must be in the southern hemisphere. Just looking at those people jumping into a pool gives me a chill.

As soon as I saw this challenge - this was the shot I had in mind. It's a great idea. You need to learn to resize for the challenges. It's a good idea, but it's going to get marked down for being too small. Do a search on the site - there are lots of forum entries regarding how to properly size entries.

It may be presumptious, but welcome to DPC! Keep the imagination flowing!

OMG why did you chose this small size, it could have been a gret shot but I can't see it :S sorry

too small

You need to resize this picture. Looks like it would be good but you can't see any of the detail because it's too small.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Would have been great; definitely meets the challenge, but it's too small. (72ppi with the longest side set for 640, usually works just great!)

so small - shame

This could be so much better. Its a very good idea. Crop distracting background, trees, lampost, overexposed sky. Zoom in on atheletes. Take from a different perspective, e.g. from their backs with the blue waters forming most of the picture.
