I like the pose and calm water, the image looks quite underexposed but you should be able to fix this in your RAW converter. You probably didn't need negative EC in this light.

Scott, Axel has covered the main points, but just want to add, I too, like the pose. Would like to see you give this another go.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Underexposure mentioned. I do like the pose. If this were mine I'd either clone out the dark feather at bottom edge, or give it more room down there.

[David Thomasson]

Plenty of juice in this image to work with. And, surprisingly, no noise when you pull it up! :cool: Start with the raw file and
you can make a very respectable picture out of this.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

The repost looks great, David!

[Troy Lim]

Repost looks great, now the few spots on the water, remove it, will be even better. :)

[Alan Murphy]

Nice repost. I would also warm it up a bit and allow a bit more room for the virtual feet.

[WIlliam Maroldo]

Nice composition, and indeed underexposed. Since David was able to salvage exposure without noise, which is surprising to me as well, it seems counter to my experience with underexposed images. The only possibility I can come up with is that noise reduction was already done, so I have to ask; Scott did you perform noise reduction on your image? regards~Bill
