maybe, mabye not?

Definitely not in the end, I didn't want to risk getting clobbered. But I don't like to miss a day so gave it a thorough check-out just in case it was OK.
Hand of Guidance
I love how this guy has like a knight in shining armor hood on :)
maybe, mabye not? by lomokev.
henry, nick & sue try to pick there moment to enter the water. some swimmers are more hesitant than others!

by the way i have replaced evey single wellie boot shot from last week becuase there was some thing wrong with the color profile that made them really desaturated and crap on anthing apart from the apple mac. thanks to Ling Gondaeng (Dale) for the help i have no clue when it comes to digital!

This is great, a real "decisive moment" shot.

Henry looking cold and reluctant, Sue looking like she's trying to escape and Nick holding her back.

Great capture!

There is something quite incredible about these images - they look like paintings. Is it the camera, the film, or have you manipulated them at all?
