Swimmer beneath a boulder overhang

Vertical freshwater view across a cobbled riverbed: a swimmer moving under a massive boulder, another rock blocking face and arms. Skin, shorts, stones, shadowed rock and water compressed into heavy green.

What FiveMeters recovered

Skin and blue-white shorts separate from the riverbed. Stones recover grey, brown and ochre variation; large boulders regain cooler shadowed tone without brightening the black crevice.

Still visible

Face and hands stay partly hidden behind the foreground boulder. The deepest gap holds little recorded information; chroma noise and slight subject softness remain.
