I like this photo, beyond the obvious interest of showing a part of rowing that many may not be aware of (the sliding seat for leg power).
There are some interesting geometries and different textures etc (like the water in the background) along with strong composition that lift it. BTW, just from the toes of the shoes on the right, those look like cycling shoes, which would make total sense because a very stiff footbed would make for extremely efficient power transfer and pushing off. Are rowing shoes made by companies like Shimano (those ones look very much like Shimano), Diadora, Sidi, Specialized, Northwave, etc? Nike also makes a popular cycling shoe.
