Nice concept. I'm a little ambivalent about the bubbles. In a sense, the bubbles heighten the veracity of the image, but without them, it seems dreamier For me, what gives it a dead aura is how green it is. I'd try a variant with less green. There's too much contrast on the face. I would have used a reflector underwater, held just below the lower edge of the frame.

An insightful commentary on how "communication technology" has isolated and held us incommunicado from our fellows in real life. That they have corporate uniforms on and similar poses adds to the idea that these two guys have a lot in common, but they will never share it as they cross like battleships in the night. The slight off-center composition is one of the few things breaking the symmetry, one of my favorite things about this picture. Head-on would have been too much. It reminds me of a lot of the social landscape pictures from the 70's, brought up to date. Good picture, Luca.

For me, this composition would have worked better as a horizontal, would lead to less sky. That would decidely improve the balance of colors in this picture, which is overwhelmed by the large expanse of blue overhead. The horizon tilt bothers me a little. I also like the original composition best.

That full frontal composition, with the walkway parting what looks like one of the world's largest lawns in half is very graphic, but also rigid and static. Congratulations on being chosen.
