Nice catch...his shoulder is high in a stronger position allowing for more leverage.

Yeap.. nice catch and think his eyes and head position is great!
Well.. i', living in a South Korea... Wearing paddles is not allowed in many swimming pools if you swim alone. Because it may scratch other swimmers. Except in some sessions or swim classes guided by coach or instructors. Sad..~

You should just paint the paddles to match your skin. Maybe nobody will notice! Also, there are smaller paddles, even the swimmer in the picture carries not only these large paddles, but also finger paddles. See if you can pick up a very small pair and maybe they won't bother you about them?

Head appears too deep to me.

Looking at the picture he is blowin the air out mighty hard so I'm pretty sure he is really working it!!
Plus he is obviously getting a connection of power at the catch with that vertical forearm!

Seems to me that either he is riding low in the water and does not have a strong posture or that he is rotated pretty dang far on his side. If he is very far on his side he looks to have a solid posture... Cutting the legs out is a bit tricky!

Good pic!
