Cooling Heat

There is nothing more refreshing on a hot day than swimming! Cooling off the heat with a refreshing dip into your favorite swimming spot. Whether it's the ocean, your swimming pool, or a local lake, it does the trick and keeps you cool.

Here is a black& white picture I cropped to truly bring out the exploratory drama in this young person's face as they wade through the shimmering cool waters of this local lake in Woodstock, CT.

I cropped this image high on purpose to utilized the dark areas of the head for the crop line and to draw attention to the damp, wet looks of the soaked strands of hair. Purposely darkening specific areas of this photo hides the identity enough so the person can remain anonymous. This is sometimes useful when you want to use public photos of people without exposing identity. Try this with your next shot!
