Those are great Jeff. Looks like the kids are having a tuff summer there! Oh poor things! I wish my life was half as hard. I kid of course. Looks like a blast!
I love the water crown on your sons head, thats cool! I agree the last one is fantastic! I am sure she would be willing to do that again and again for you to try from different angles to get a clean bg. Still a lot of summer left for swimming. I may have to have my girls do this the next time we go for a swim at grandmas house. Great work!

Neat photos! The third image is very reminiscent of Peter Gowland's 1950's B&W film shots. Ever see his work?

Great shots out there. The background on 3rd one is bit distractive, but I totally love them all !

BrillianT! All of them.
Always wanted to do something like you did with the last one.
What a shot! I'm very impressed.
Did you shoot in continuous mode or manually?
Could you share the "secret ingredient"?

Thanks!
