    Two simple perhaps? I've debated this one and decided I like it......your thoughts?

    Last Sunday morning in the fog in fairly calm conditions.

    I like it i.e. minimal colour and I am sure you thought about it too- what would it look like in monochrome? I suspect possibly even better?;)

    Often the simplest things are best, good example here Jim.;)
    Good use of EV also.

    Jim, this works for me. Johnathon's idea for a B/W would be an interesting variation too.

    Cheers,

    I like it -- good comp and HA. One more winner in your high-key series.

    Does make for a very simple image! I really like it.

    The high key works for me, with a good low perspective captured. Simple swimming pose. if this were mine, I would maybe crop a little tighter.

    It works because of the simplicity. Although I realize it was foggy I find the yellowlegs looks a bit washed out...I would try darkening it a bit, or at least the midtones (while keeping the BG as white as it is now). I also wonder how it would look like tucked closer to the LLC (but not too close!).

    Well done Jim, I love high key stuff!!

    Jim, I love the comp. w/ just a sliver off the back. Very nice looking image with a lovely mood.

    I love the high key look and the pano crop as well as the swimming shorebird. I would not mind seeing the BLACKs and mid-tones a bit blacker.
