Jihn, very nice framing. I love the green surrounding the water and the rock under the water surface. The OOF tail is just a tad distracting, I wonder if you could sharpen it more? TFS. Loi

Good pic John, and yes selective sharpening of the tail would give the shot a lift.

Thanks both. heres a re hash with some highlights softened and played around with curves a bit.
Cheers

Second one has that little extra ooompf John, although I would be careful about sharpening OOF parts.

Hi Neal- Sorry I cloned it- as you say sharpening unsharp bits is iffy. If its not there .......
