Four minutes. glatt must be on a call.

HLJ, you're a winner!!!

I recently bought an underwater enclosure for my camera, a Canon Powershot A710IS, and this Saturday I had a chance to take some pictures at the pool. This was one of them.

It is some young girl's fake fingernail. The white stripe is on the underside, hidden in this view. Putting aside for a moment the kind of gross thoughts about what exactly I'm swimming in, like, say, detached (fake) fingernails, I do like the colors in this picture. It's better when resized smaller, like... 1/2 to 1/3 of the shot above. The overlapping layers of translucent blue seem to be additive in the bottom of the frame, and the hot pink is a nice contrast.

I may repost this one and some others in the Underwater Photography thread for further discussion.
