Hey there, time traveller!

PARIS (AP) — David J. Phillip takes a closer look at his underwater AP photo of an Olympic swimmer.
Why this photo?
The goggles worn by Tomoru Honda of Japan pop out as he comes to the surface for his first butterfly stroke during the men’s 200-meter heat.
How I made this photo
The photograph was taken with a Sony A1 camera & 16-35mm lens inside an underwater housing placed at the bottom of the swimming pool.
Why this photo works
This photo works because the small bit of color surrounded by splashing water captures your eye and makes his face standout.
