Love the pose, framing, EXP and the water as BG to make this beauty pop. Very peaceful feeling... TFS

ps
Those muddy legs and that red eye...

[Paul Burdett]

Very nice...the raised leg certainly makes this image a winner. Just wondering if perhaps there's a little too much empty space on the RHS? Exposure looks good.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Nice, clean, elegant frame. Pointing the camera down another 1-2 inches or so would have made it even better IMO, assuming there was no debris below the frame. I'm really digging the pastel colours.

Lovely looking frame Joe...What a great looking pose...Agree with a little cropped from the RHS
