Kaustubh:

Another very nice shot, low angle, nice lighting, sharp, well exposed. The bill is esp. nice.

Even though the catchlight is completely normal, I might consider rounding it up a bit. The vertically elongated ones always seem to make the eye less sharp to me.

Cheers

Good angle (as usual), perfect exposure. Another good job, Kaus.

[Don Lacy]

Wonderful image Kaustubh, great angle and lighting.

[Sid Garige]

Fantastic pose and details. Awesome light KD.

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Thx guys.

Randy, very good point about the catchlight...will keep that in mind. I usually remove multiple catchlights but rarely work on it if there is only one. I will do that also now going forward.

Kaus, great perspective, light and sharpness, and I like the overall colours. The droplets on the head puts this over the top. Well done.

( not too great from my cricket team, was it.:o )

Thx Stu. I was obviously, very happy with the cricket match result :-) It was fun waking up at 3 in the morning to watch it :-)
