Like the metaphor, but I'm not sure if the line is quite right.
I love the idea ... but - let's be a little pests - it only can represent situations of holiday in water : a hotel with swimming pool or a tropical sea. It may be a handicap for the image of terra.com
Never have time to do. Always time to redo.
I disagree Serge: I think the point is that they are drowning in work. Feeling overwhelmed. I don't think the water specifically represents the vacation, it visually represents the job. The vacation is to allow yourself to breath. The image is actually quite literal.
sloppy photoshop. the screwed up the waterline on the right hand side.
WAITTTTT.,.... Is that supposed to be a female in the water or a male in woman's clothing in the water???
Why in the heck would they try to confuse the viewer--especially in a straightforward ad like this, by putting a man in women's clothing in the water? That wouldn't make sense. Its a female dentist. In your defense though, it would be better if the human figure was larger.
Not too shabby.

Aside from the minor photoshop blip, the biggest criticism I have is that the human figure (and the accessories in the water) could be larger. That would make it easier to identify what he/she/it is and what they are supposed to represent. Admittedly the ad will be larger in most print applications, but they still seem too small. Other than that the ad is very effective in getting it's message across. People are literally drowning in their work, and vacations allow them to come up for air. Interesting concept.
Brilliant!!
