Last 2 from Swim Team Season

[Chip]

My daughter's swim team season ended this morning. So, as a parting shot, here are 2 photos from a bit earlier this season. (The 1st one isn't my daughter, and I was in a tight spot with a 70-300mm lens.)

Really nice shots. I love the colors and actions in the second one.

Do you still love the smell of chlorine in the morning?

After being around swimming a bit with my daughter, I have some idea of what it takes to swim competitively. Impressive. And thanks for your comments.

Great shots! Great exposure contol and composition.

The second one ties in perfectly with a goodbye wave to the swimming season.

Thanks for sharing.

Really nice two there I love the colour and vibrancy of both but the action one is my fave love the whole feel of the pic and even the reflection in the goggles works in it's favour adding to the concentration of the subject almost

Many thanks. And nice thought on the wave goodbye. That one hadn't crossed my mind.

Thanks very much, FoG. I appreciate your insights.

Excellent pictures Chip, a portrait and an action shot. The whole series has been colourful and vibrant, full of atmosphere, grit and determination and a joy to look at. I love both these but the second shades by a fingertip finish, but only for the energy and commitment shown by the swimmer, good job
