Leap of Faith

[Myer Bornstein]

Today we have sun and so I went to the shore. The dunlins were cooperative and not nervous. I was in the tideline sitting on a low rock, too much water to lay down in and the water was cold.

Neat capture there, Myer. Nice low angle, even if you were sitting rather than laying. You did a nice job adding canvas. You might get a little more "pop" by making a curves adjustment in photoshop.

Thanks. here is a repost. what do you think?

[Dave Mills]

Hi Myer, The image definately has more pop after you made the adjustment. I might darken the eye a bit...

I could not decide whether to lighten or darken the eye. I will try another go around darking the eye here is the image
Thanks

Myer, this a great moment that you have captured here - really made me smile!!
I'm on my laptop, so can't really tell about the eye, but I might go a little darker.
Best,
Nickii

Excellent timing to get this jump! Congrats.

The PP work to add the canvas looks good on the rock, but you can notice some difference in the water above the rock.
