Nice shot, if it wee mine I would bring the higher tones down a bit. it really pops then.

a very cool frame , the subject look almost like a statue .
clean shot and processing looks good . nice to find no artifacts ....:bg3::t3
I would try to tone down the water , the subject will pop .

Lovely pose and POV. The suggestions above might be worth a try.

nice clean frame, good light and BG. I see a bit of halo around the bill, maybe because it was wet

Hi Jon, thank you for viewing and commenting. Regarding the higher tones, I am not sure what you mean... dark tones or light tones?

Hi Andreas, thank you for viewing and commenting. Regarding tone down the water, I am not sure what you mean. Do you mean lower the exposure and make it darker or reduce the highlights?

Love the image and especially the shadow. But you might want to remove the BLUE from the shadow.

What date?

with love, artie
