Sharp, nice COMP and perfect EXP. And a nice subject too. The foreground rock is a distraction. At the very least, I would crop away 2/3 to 3/4 of it.

later and love, artie

ps: Sort of like the image below. Also got rid of some whitewash, a hot spot or two, and a stick, mostly with the Patch Tool.

Nice pose and details. I like Artie's crop suggestion. Could you have moved lower and to your left?

[john crookes]

i wished i could have moved a little but i had about a six inch window to photograph through as it was
I am not a big guy on removing objects I just feel it was there and I am responsible for what is in the frame. I don't mind if others do it it is just my own feelings

I have to agree with Artie's comment and second post.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Great capture and perfect exposure but I agree with Artie's suggestion about the rock. Thanks for sharing John !!
