Thank you for the comments. This photo was taken through glass at a lakeside pool. Earlier in the day I had asked my wife if she thought that there would be water in this pool yet. The competition gave me the idea to stop by and check. I had my kit lens in the car, and to my surprise there were three kids in the pool. It took me about 2 minutes to get enough shots to choose from. This particular girl did not know I was there. She did movements under the water, like she was a dancer. Or, like the beginning to the movies for 007, or something to that nature. She did not know that she was putting on a performance for my camera and yourselves, she just looked like she was enjoying the peace and tranquility underwater. Hence, "Finding Peace".

When I was young, I was never out of the water. I'm surprised I didn't grow gills. Now, I'm old and over weight and wish I had a private pool because there is still no place I'd rather be then in the water. I love this photo, it made me feel good just looking at it. A bit envious too!

Didn't anyone tell you the e510 isn't waterproof ?? I'm guessing this was shot through a glass window in the side of the pool. Very nice shot, how many times did you send her down till you got it right? :-)
