great catch. From the perspective of someone who was once a comptetive swimmer this is very good. Although, I never did like the backstroke very much, I like to be able to see where I am going.

Daniel Niño says:

As you say, photography is the art of catching a moment, just as you viewed it, and show it to people so they can see something the way you want to show it to them, giving them the opportunity to take their own feelings and interpretations from the image.

I'm glad there are people like you, who understand the main concept of what "photography" means, and not only that, but they are able to put it into practice. For me, that's a photographer, in the whole sense of the word.

Congratulations.

Keep in contact.
