Description

This is a black and white, underwater shot of five men in a diving position. The water is a dark color, except for the bright droplets coming off of the men's bodies. The composition and monochromatic treatment create a striking image of athleticism. The divers are all adult males wearing dark swimwear. Each diver is in a slightly different pose, capturing various stages of their dives, with the dark environment creating a sense of depth.
