Hi Gary Excellent timing Love the pose Interesting bg You might try selecting the bg and inverting for the Shadow Highlight Will keep out the halo Might want to post at max size for a better look I like it a lot Excellent !!!

You nailed this one Gary!! Great action and sharp as...! ! The plain BG forms a good back-drop for this burst of action. The only nit for me is the dark forehead and eye area that could easily be lightened a little

Interesting pose and BG. The whites have a blue color cast and the body looks oversharpened since some noise is visible.

Wonderful pose and great detail. I like the water dripping from the feet. The tad of halo is visible, but I guess that's from preparing for the web.
