Description
Somewhere on DA I saw a guy who once in a while went back to a favorite photo of his and retouched it according to his current taste and skill. Just to see if he’d make progress since last time. I thought that was a fabulous idea. Funny how a photo is not only a frosen moment in time, its also a frozen example of the style you had in that particular period. Lately I’ve been into muting the colors and light, sort of making the photos appear as visions so dark, you were lucky to catch a glimpse of it before it was swallowed by pitch black eternal night.Ever since submitting “splash” it’s been the photo I’ve received the friendliest notes/mails about. Since it has never been on the frontpage, all the 163 people who has
'ed it has been hardworking gallery-browsers. So this is a revised ‘deluxe’ version dedicated to this endangered species 
Those who make an effort to seek out new work and artists instead of just dwelling on their stale watchlists.

I love the pic, very beautiful. Part of me wants to see more image to the left so I could see the entire path of the water. It also seems like there should be more out there since that the direction that she is facing. Overall, very, very cool picture.

I lightning is perfect,composition, the naked women taking a bath, and the absolute perfect effect with the water from her hair. Yet again, amazing photograph, one of the best I'v had the oppertunity to see. Love this with all my

Well I love this dark version, i'll have to see the original now! Such movement and beauty captured in such a split second...it's the essence of photography, imo.

thank you for the comment. I'm fascinated by photography for the same reason. With the amazing effects on fullmotion film/video of today, photography for me is mostly about capturing special moments, or freezing movement in the right moment.

That's beautiful! I love the colors, and that water looks fantastic... very well done

This photo is simply astounding. I cannot utter enough praise for it. The shadowy figure coupled with the translucent trail of water running its circular course is, to use the cliche 'picture perfect.' I don't know if I've seen a better photo. Ever.
God this is so good.

I don't usually add comments to things I view, but here, I felt like I just had to mention how much I love this photograph. I've been away from my camera for a few months now, (mostly because of a new graphic design job which, frankly, makes me want to do anything but graphic work when I come home...) and seeing this is giving me that itch to pick it back up again. Either way, beautiful capture, great toning, and I look forward to viewing the rest of your works.
