    John, this is sweet man. A great contribution for the theme!

    Love the airy feel. Solid fishing posture and nice eye contact.

    I'd be tempted to blot out the small black spots at left and below the next. Would also look at reducing some of the blue tint just to see how that looks (namely in the wake and in the shadows on the subject). There are times I like the blue effects (see your previous Tern image).

    Otherwise, might also remove the long wake line going across half way between the subject and bottom.

    TFS!

    John:

    Perfect choice for the theme! I might like just a sliver more subject separation from the background, esp. along the back, but just personal taste.
