Ice swimming

Not sure what category to put this pic in. Shot for swedish wellness

magazine "MåBra" in feb. 2012. Models face very lightly retouched with

PS.

It's entertaining and the model is well lit. Showing the background is OK, but cropping closer the model would put more emphesis on her, so I think cropping this just to the other side of the lake would be a good variation. 

She's going to freeze her petunias off!! :-)... Makes me cold just looking at this, but it's an attention grabbing shot... Mike

Thanks for your comments. I actually tried to crop it more closely on the model, but I think that it lost quite a bit of the over all impression since you crop away the wintery landscape around her. Originally this shot was made for a full page print in an magazine and I have lefte some room for a short text above her.
