Portrait of Calm 

While this young girl submerged below the water looks peaceful and serene, it wasn’t the easiest image for Your Shot photographer Alexandra Bochkareva to capture. The model had to hold onto Bochkareva in order to stay still beneath the cold water of Suzdalskoe Lake in St. Petersburg, Russia, in order for the photographer to get the shot, but it paid off. “The idea to take this shot came into my mind when I saw the light play on the water table,” writes Bochkareva.
