love the 1st one...
the 2nd one is a bit over-done ain't it?

@gio,
hehehe, yeah :D she looks like an android!

i'll try a more subdued PP, hehe.

the captures were nice.. but.. i don't find the excessive burn on the skin appealing.. :)

I think the essence of capturing the actual action of the swimmer was taken away of the over-PP process.

Just my 2 cents. :)

I understand it will be a blooody post processing, if...
you apply the post processing only to the water(coz it looks nice) and subtler PP on the person.

thanks for the C&Cs :D i hope i can improve,hehe, :)

@reydian,
i guess i may have make PP even subtler for these swimming shots.:D

@ denmark,
your 2 cents gave me some thought about the whole process of capturing action shots :)

@carlo,
na-sunburn sa PP. hahaha.:Grin:

I like the first photo!

It will pass for a advertising campaign poster or billboard! :Grin:

@michael, thanks :D

3rd pic (dive in!) is with an awesome timing. ;)

Too bad, too many unwanted elements on the background. Can't do anything about it though. :)

@denmark
yeah :) but i was itching to paint them over with a wall texture, or draw whiskers and bunny ears on the girl, or chop off the protruding head and leg...:D but then again, i kept thinking minimal PP, minimal PP. :Grin:

somehow, i couldn't resist tinkering with the images...:Scared:
