Hi!
Why?
Seems to me the photo has interest with the swimmer there. That's what
the photog initially saw (I think) and is part of the scene.
The photo is not an entry in a contest, seems to me, but like most
out-on-the-street photos, little more than an interesting catch. A good,
interesting snapshot in time.
For me, the swimmer's head plowing thru the water at the base of that
odd fenced-off concrete block is just one more picture element to think
about.
I like simple additions to a scene like that. Not all scene elements
which are not part of the main subject are objectionable...
I think if it brings a smile to my face as I deterrmine what it is, it
works... ;-)

Keith, it is just that you and I saw this scene differently. Yours is
naturally just as valid a view as mine.
No, I wasn't thinking of this photo in terms of "entry in a contest"...
Although as usual I am happy that my comment produced just a bit of
controversy :).
