Love the lighting and colors in this frame, Joe. Detail on the head looks good, but the legs look a bit plastic. Not sure how much of that is OOF effect versus processing; I wouldn't think they'd be in sharp focus given the body positioning and DOF limitations with the focal point on the head/face.
Sharp and right on sun angle. And a different but interesting juxtaposition. Lower would have been better.

Hi Artie, than you for viewing and commenting. I certainly agree that lower is better, some days my Myasthenia Gravis rules and I am not able. Getting down is fine, getting up afterwards not so.
