    Hi Ken, much prefer this one to the previous posting and it has a lot more going for it. I think perhaps f5.6 would have been better, as you would still have had the shutter speed, but the BG might have been a bit more diffused. A fraction more in Curves helps it 'pop' a bit more. ;)

    Good pose, nice and sharp here Ken in diffused light, the two large stones on left are a little distracting.

    Great close up, and what a pose. I would maybe darken the BG a tad.

    Thanks to everybody for their comments, I suppose I could have cloned out the rocks but they do not bother me that much, I am not a great fan of "pop", as for the BG I admit it looks a little odd.
