I love this photograph. Normally I'm not big on shots of other photographers, but this one is outstanding! Nice and clear, crisp and the colours are amazing! Nice work!

Location
This was taken at the pool at our apartment complex.... Luckily it wasn't a crowded day... Normally there is so much traffic, we wouldn't have been able to do this....Time
This was later in the day, probably around 6-7pm.... A little while before magic hour....Lighting
This is entirely natural light... The pool sits entirely in shadow by this time of the day, (about 6-7pm) as it is surrounded by buildings, and the sun dips behind them in the evening. So the light is nice and soft/nondirectional.Equipment
This was taken on a Canon 5D mk3, with a Canon 85mm 1.8 lens. No flash.... :)Inspiration
I love this photo.... I had invited my niece, (in photo), to shoot along side me for a photo shoot. (she's new to the hobby) The afternoon had been kinda hot so we decided to head to the pool to see if we could get some further shots, and maybe cool off a little. Needless to say this was not what I had in mind, but when she stepped into the pool, and started shooting, I figured why not? So there we are, 2 crazy people in the pool, snapping photos.... But we got some really good shots, and got to cool off at the same time, so Hey! -It was a fantastic idea.... :)Editing
I did a little touch up on this with LR, but not a lot, I usually just tweak it a little bit, and crop it to resize a bit.In my camera bag
My bag is fairly minimal, I keep a few spare items, like a flash, batteries, compact flash, etc, but the main components are: Canon 5d mk3 Canon 135mm F2 Canon 85mm F1.8 Canon 28mm F1.8 Sigma 50mm Art -It works pretty well for me... I try to let my feet be the zoom.... :)Feedback
Honestly, I think the best answer is to get in there, try to live in the moment, and try to get some good pics! Take some risks, the best photos are those that show us *life*, -and you can do that from afar. :)
