    This is one to be proud of, Mike. Love the colours, sharpness, BG, striding pose, wavelets. Might lighten the vertical leg reflection a little and may be a candidate for a very subtle corner burn. Nothing more to say.

    Love the soft light and the low angle. BG blends nicely and the waves are small and well placed. Nice.

    Very well exposed, and pin sharp. I like the pastel colours in the BG. Congrats on an outstanding image Mike.

    Lovely low angle here Mike. Light and colour is also very impressive.
