I had to use this picture because of how uncomfortable it made me while looking at it. This is a self-portrait according to the article I got it from but it doesn't say how he shot it which I would be very interested to know. The water is so still so he had to be submerged for atleast a short period of time to wait for their to be no ripples and he must have had a timer or someone else release the shutter after he set it up. The eerie stillness of the water with his pale face beneath the surface of this grass clogged water is just too much to handle in my opinion. It certainly catches the viewers attention though and makes them think about what, where, why, how, etc. and in doing so is a very successful image.
