Hi Gerry, Good for you! :-) Any cover is a good picture! :-) And creates the stomach squiggles when you see it. :-) That's the neat part always! And these are all from the original shoot that you were disappointed in? When you knock off a cover your work can't be all bad no matter the subject, but in this case you did very good considering your original post of how bad it looked to you. As you said originally, "the static shots are all fine." And they are, no problem. It was the twisting, twirling dropping like a rock that caused your grief. Of those shown here action ones are fine under the circumstance, as I understand you'd never shot diving before. However, there are two I'd dump right off. 0350 and 0351 as they do nothing for the diver's form nor for your photo ability. ;-) Both are crucial to get rid of. ;-) One for the diver in finding new sponsors and you your next "diving shoot!" :-) Well done and hopefully you'll have more! ted
