EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by David Gray, we witness the sheer athleticism and grace of Frances Cely as he competes in the preliminary round of the men's 1m springboard diving event at the 14th FINA World Championships in Shanghai. The abstract art-like quality of this image is enhanced by its exterior setting, with a stunning combination of dive action and movement captured within the frame. The use of motion blur adds an element of speed and dynamism to the picture, while also creating an underwater effect that immerses us into Cely's world beneath the surface. Although his face remains unrecognizable, we can still appreciate his skill and dedication through his body language. This photograph beautifully showcases how sports can be a creative outlet for individuals to express themselves physically. The long exposure technique employed here allows us to see every twist and turn in exquisite detail, emphasizing both power and precision. The swimming pool serves as an oddly serene environment amidst all this energy, offering a tranquil backdrop for Cely's daring leap into mid-air. With plenty of copy space surrounding him, our focus is solely on his extraordinary performance against nature's elements. David Gray has masterfully captured a moment frozen in time where water meets air – a testament to human capability and determination. This image truly encapsulates the spirit of competitive swimming while inviting viewers to marvel at its beauty from afar.
