    Excellent low shooting angle, nice head turn and detail, Lorant.

    Well caught good low angle I would be tempted to take a bit off the base and add an equal amount to the top. Exposure looks optimal and I like the raised foot.

    Lorant:

    excellent POV, intimate. I do agree with Jon about the crop. Because the lowest portion of the foreground is featureless, would be tempted to crop up to about the level of your website address.

    The sandy/mucky foot is nice.

    Cheers

    I like the walking pose, IQ, BG, HA and muddy foot. There is a dust bunny behind the raised foot that I would clone out. Excellent image Lorant!

    Hi Lorant, I love the muddy foot! Reminds me of my feet, legs, and belly in the summer ;) I too would suggest to crop a little off the bottom.

    Another vote for a bit off the bottom and to get rid of the dust bunny.
    I prefer this image to your previous- more breathing room.
    Good IQ.

    Sharp with a nice sandy foot. Too dark and to much sand at the bottom. And the aforementioned dustspot. a
