I like this one,works well in a silhouette mode,would crop out that sky though,feel the image would be stronger.

Not sure i agree with photonut in this one. cropping let you loose some fine details, right side especially. No...i would like to say..great entry.

I only would remove the ugly pole (1/3), hahahaha

You have two photos in one here. If you slice down half the page and crop down artistically, keeping the fine details of the 3 silouetted images you have one classy shot.(minus the pole) What you have up splits our visual attention with eyes going left to right to right to left and the power of the image has been lost. Taking this to monochrome was interesting but if the children were wearing brightly coloured bathing suits the colour would have added a bit more visual stimulation and excitement. I like this post and the creativity behind it.

Looks like the kids are having a lot of fun.
I agree about removing the pole.
