Glad you guys like it - it was a blast to create and dreamwarrior it gave me the creeps too - especially working on it late at night. Yes jasonmit - that's my little blurb about photography in Susan's book. Yeah Stefano - big water movements are really scary to me too. Whirlpools are like an underwater tornado and unlike a tornado - there is NO survival since we don't BREATHE underwater. I think that's another reason we all have an innate fear of whirlpools. Haloedrain I think it worked for us in the kiddie pool because the walls are rubbery and give (which adds momentum to the swirl). Heck do it in your sink sometime - get it going fast and then pull the plug - it is scary looking. Thanks for your compliments too cambert and woodhurst. I really appreciate all the comments. Scott : )
