Shot near downtown Toronto this past May!
Cloudy conditions so it's a pretty bland looking shot (mostly drab looking colours). Nevertheless, I like how you can see the foot and the pebbles/rocks look nice, imo.
ISO 200
0 ev
f/5.6
SS 1/500
Nikon D300s + VR 80-400 @ 400mm
C&C would be appreciated!
thanks in advance :)

Simple and effective comp. Like the foot and pebbles, as is. Head area could be a bit sharper, seems soft just below the eye. Nice detail Alvan.:)

Nice low angle and i like the foot up pose ! Comp works well. Will RUN another round of sharpening ? Well done !

Alvan:
I like the pose and placement in frame. Might consider a very small crop down from top.
If you want to tweak the brightness, might I suggest adjusting the white point a bit to brighten the image ( pull the right hand slider in a bit in curves, watching for any blown highlight warnings). You can then lift the middle of the curve just a bit to brighten it.
I tried this, and felt it opened the image up, removed a slight sense of murkiness, without changing the overall balance.
Just an option.
Cheers
Randy

Nice pose with the foot up. Good low angle too. Some fill flash would help for cloudy days.
