 I took this picture just this morning, Bangkok time. I never thought it will come out this way. I have my shadow on the wall but the swimming pool behind me projects/reflects me as well. A mere coincidence (but now a lesson learned).

You were soooo robbed!
I like this very much. Looks like you are floating on a cloud.
Maybe the one thing that hurt is your head being cropped at the top.

It's a different idea. I find the camera strap distracting. I like the appearance of looking into the heavens.

I take it from the title that this is not a manipulated image, but it it is tough to work out what a 'swimming pool projection in the wall' might be. A very ethereal shot. The camera strap(?) even looks a little like a restrain - hence a kind of freedom and bondage juxtaposition. I like it.
