    Beautiful light and low POV would have made this a lovely shot anyway but the scratching pose adds a lot more interest, excellent work again

    Pretty good on the head and foot angles and it would be hard to imagine a sweeter blue BKGR.

    I really dig the foot and the caption is perfect for it LOL. Sweet low angle and BG too. Very nicely done Brian!

    Great title. I do really like that smooth blue water. Framing is right on. Your going to need a snorkel if you get any lower.

    Hi Brian .... killer IQ !!!!
    Technically seen it is close to perfection from my side .
    Interesting but no so attractive and aestectic pose of the subject .... but still love to look at the frame , just because of the overall presentation
