"The photo was taken in a swimming pool in the larger Bern area, Switzerland. I used a Canon EOS 5D Mark II with the Canon EF 20mm f/2.8 lens in a Seacam underwater housing as well as two Seacam and one Subtronic underwater strobes. Aperture was f/13, ISO 100 and exposure time 1/160. I can't really tell what exactly inspired me to take this image, sometimes these ideas just pop up in my mind. I actually like to photograph things and scenes under water that people actually would not expect there, and I try to create illusions. I imagined that a girl on a swing under water would create a surreal scene and tried to further emphasize this by letting her wear these white ski goggles." - Diego
