I like the pose and head angle. Since the light was a bit harsh, I might tone down the highlights a bit.
Love this. Great detail, clarity, and focus. Bright whites with good tone and detail. Maybe could tone the white down a bit? But nothing wrong as it is either IMHO.
Thanks Axel and James. The light was indeed a bit harsh; low tide didn't coincide with best light, so I had to compromise on both and made this image about 2 hours before sunset on a bright day. I did tone down the highlights some, but probably not enough. I'll try to reduce them a bit further. I appreciate the comments.
Looks like lots of light Bill, so maybe a lower iso? very nice clean shot.
Well composed with excellent detail. You did well considering the harsh light.
What I really like about this image is the perfect view of the "semi-palm". Harsh light dealt best you could.
Thanks Daniel. I made a number of images of this guy and his cousins on the beach that afternoon. You guessed the reason I chose to post this one -- it clearly shows the 'semi-palm' better than the others.Originally Posted by Daniel Cadieux
Great Shot! Excellent details and pose Bill well done.
Nice details and pose, would have loved a bit more lower angle, still works well, congrats..
Thanks Kiran. I agree about the low angle. I was as low as I could get without getting my whole body in the mud -- I find it easier to crawl around on a sandy beach than on mudflats -- but next time I guess I'll have to get dirtier to get down to his eye level.
