    A classic De Soto scene. Nice interaction. Nice smooth sand as well.

    Hey Joe, very pretty frame you have here. Superb action ;-)

    I like the composition. The setting is nice too.

    The only way I could see to improve would have been a slightly better light angle. You really did a nice job with the canvas though!

    Great action, and I think the slight side lighting makes for a really dramatic image in this instance. Would like a touch more direct light on the male's face, but that's about it. His raised crest is great.
