Nice image with good IQ and tack sharp. The eye has shown up well.
I would crop tighter by taking some off the bottom and the RHS.
Great BG with all the different colors.
Well done,
Gail

Beautiful vertical! I think that Gail has a good suggestion regarding the comp. Nice and sharp and well exposed. Did you apply some blur to the background? It looks just a bit unnatural to me.

[ramesh anantharaman]

Gail Just tried your suggestion!!! What say??

Grace havent blurred the BG specifically but have run a round of extra NR on it. But yes the bottom half was very unevenly ripply due to water and the blur from the lens was making it look very bad. used the blur tool to even it out.

I think the repost looks great!

Hi Ramesh, great angled bank, and the skimmer really pops from the BG. Although your repost works better, I can see a version with a touch off the left, and some more off the right. Just a personal thing.
