Needless to say this normally involves a lot of luck and a LOT of takes to get the right image. However, when it works well the effect can be quite dramatic. I will be making this image, and some others, available as fine art prints.\u00a0 They can be printed on a range of art media, canvas or 300gsm art paper, up to 24 inches across.\u00a0 So if you are interested in a print for your studio, office, fitness centre or lounge, please get in touch with your requirements and I&#8217;ll get back to you with a quote.<\/p>\n<p>You can contact me directly <a title=\"email\" href=\"mailto:colin@colinmunrophotography.com\" target=\"_blank\">email me<\/a><\/p>\n<p>More women and water images on my <a title=\"Women and water\" href=\"http:\/\/colinmunro.photoshelter.com\/gallery\/Women-Water\/G0000Zp_CM97gqN8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/colinmunro.photoshelter.com site<\/a>.<br \/>\nMore split images (above and below) on my photoshelter site <a title=\"HDR Showcase\" href=\"http:\/\/colinmunro.photoshelter.com\/gallery\/HDR-Showcase\/G0000cur6w14ggow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<br \/>\nfind me on Google+ <a href=\"\u201dhttps:\/\/plus.google.com\/u\/0\/117831145083058874043?rel=author\u201d\">Colin Munro<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been taking a few split image shots recently, where the image recorded is partly above and partly below the waters&#8217; surface.
