I think I like it better mirrored. I had no choice because the pool ladder got in the way and mirroring was easier/ better looking than cloning. ~ Lonnit

I should add.. I think it would work just as well (maybe better) without the mirror effect. -tv

Thanks, Peeps! :) ~ Lonnit

I agree, the mirroring adds to a greater since of speed.

This is great Lonnit! The mirroring worked really well on this and the processing adds to the sense of motion! :-) CJ

Between you and me, this is a superior swimming image. (and I've taken hundreds of inferior examples) -tv

Thank you, guys. I can't take credit for the natural action of the water, but I did love that part myself. For the record, she is a he! LOL! As for the cropping, since you mentioned it, the bottom and sides are the originals and only the top was cropped to put the top of the head along the upper (yes, my obsession! LOL!) line of thirds. Thanks for commenting. :) ~ Lonnit

Not only do I like the symmetry right down to the reflection on her head, but the water cropping he face just below her eyes. -COAmature

I really like the symmetry Lonnit, and welcome back! Nice effect with the swirls in the spreading water too. Oh, and your crop is perfect. - angioman

Thanks, Aam. Whenever I see mirror images I always kick myself for never remembering to do them. This time around, the pool ladder got into the right side of the frame. I was going to clone it out and figured I'd mirror the left for material, but then realized, DOH!, this is a perfect image for mirroring altogether! Glad you appreciated it. :) ~ Lonnit

Now you are talking! Very well done.
