Chillin' Out
Every night, around 9-10PM, I swim in the pool at the Radisson SAS, formerly Intercontinental Hotel here in Dubai. You'll see me back-flipping and diving and snorkeling like an otter :) I love the water. It's one of my excercise routines to keep me fit. Sometimes we go to the open beach. I never forget to bring my body board :)

Composition:
The pic is a bit dark because of low light to achieve the movement effect for the hunt. You can see water beads on my face :)

You know what a camera is? A mirror with memory.

Sorry Freddie, find it chaotic.

Ofcourse " at 9-10PM " when other people are thinking of going to bed :-)))

What is " a mirror with memory " ??
Do you mean 2 shots on the same " negative "?

Hi Freddie,
this shot didn't look much as a thumbnail but now I have clicked on it and seen it properly, i like it a lot. the darkness creates atmosphere . I like the shadow of your head and goggles...how did you do that? The background of the hotel is good too. It's like a funky "wish you were here" postcard. I have friends going out to work in Dubai in the autumn and i think \I will have to pay them a visit.
