Nice moment captured here, Nancy! I think had it been mine I would have brought the highlights way down to reign in the bright light in the LTC and perhaps do some work to get a little darker BG in general. I'm not too sure that the sillhouette against blue sky works for me (but that's just me!). Show us some more of the trip!

I do appreciate the concept here Nancy but agree with Tobie, that it's not working for me here, the sky is blown, have you tried to recover the highlights?
If that's possible you could then extract some slight detail on the ele itself and that combination would be more suitable.
If only you had a setting sun behind him, that would be a different story!

Hi Nancy - unfortunately I agree with Tobie and Marc on this one. I do like the pov and comp but I think this would have been better had you used negative exposure comp in the field rather than +2/3. If I am going for a silhouette in the field against a bright bg I stop down a bit and also use a very fast ss.
That's too bad to hear about the wildlife on your trip to Newfoundland.
TFS,
Rachel

Hi Nancy sadly i am also feeling this does not work really as presented and i feel i am with Gabriela about the blue/cyan is your biggest enemy here.
I like the framing and the low POV , the splashing water adds to your comment of getting sprayed with the same.
Gabriela came up with a good idea going B/W in this case , even if i do not really like the toning , but well worth to experiment.

Hi Nancy, it certainly is different which is not necessarily bad. There are a few obvious issue which have been mentioned, with the colour version, the blown sky (not a biggie if you going for different) and the colour of the blues which are there. After seeing Gabs B&W version this is definitely another option a gives you a little more space for different ideas.

Many thanks for all the helpful advice! I think this is one of those images where the memory of the event is more important than the image. I do like the b&w idea from Gabriela, thanks! Maybe I will play with that.
Gabriela, I do not know much about the brain worm in caribou either. The visitor center did not have any info to hand out.
