thanks ordinaryless.
the photo you're seeing is actually a crop from a slightly tilted photo, to remove the visual looseness in it. i'm glad that it appeals to you, but frankly i took that photo when i saw across the pool to see the spectators jumping, screaming... you name it
just waited a little while for the leading three swimmers to come into the frame... then SNAP! when i look at the photo, it still does look pretty loose, and the swimmers take too little of the frame.
