    I think No 5 is the keeper, it has a real Martin Parr feel about it, especially the bra strap marks on her back, I think the signs add to it, fantastic.
    No 6 you want to hold your breadth looking at it.. great!!!

    No. 1 & 2 are exellent, really nice shots. The others are good too but I dont think they work as a series, just a thought

    Hi Emmet,

    I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

    Thanks for your nice comments and your thoughts re
    the series are perfectly valid.

    I suppose I did include them as a series but I thought of
    them as the story I saw unfold.
    I often visit Galway and this area is one of my favourites.
    The morning was wild and cold and I had never seen conditions
    like this around the diving board.
    As I approached I never expected to see anybody at or near the board let alone swimming.
    Lo and behold as I came nearer there were many people doing just that.

    So that was my thinking.
    The wide shots setting the scene.
    The closer shot with onlookers showing a glimpse of a swimmer.
    Then the close ups of the brave or mad swimmers.

    I actually took the wide shots after the close ups so I could show the scene
    these people were bathing in.

    Thanks again for taking a look and replying.

    Cheers.

    John.

    Nice series. Especially like nos. 1, 4 and 5. Certainly tells the story in my opinion though I’m not sure that No.2 is needed.
