Super action captured! Love the story the image creates. Great detail!

Very well done!

great interaction captured Rudi. IMG is sharp and well exposed with a killer Mankwe bg. Great stuff !

Good interaction between the two PK's Rudi. Comp wise, I would give this more space on either side, and little more on top. If this were mine, I may add a bit more black in selective colour.

Rudi, excellent action and a frame filling comp. Some more room on top will help a lot. If mine, I'd also remove second catchlight form the kingfisher at the back.

Well done...loved this shot.

[Rudi van den Heever]

Comments and positive feedback really appreciated everyone!

Have tried a single round of luminance sharpening after resizing... Really still struggling with the processing Dumay and now waiting for ODP to deliver my CS5 - Hope it will help!

This is almost full frame and did not add more canvas...

Beautiful interaction. Very clean image as well.

Thanks Dan!

Rudi, IMO PS elements is just as good as CS5 for the editing we do, i wont notice the deferents between A img processed in the 2 software packages

[Arno Ellmer]

Excellent capture,Rudi.I also like the humorous caption.
Would also bring out more of the blacks, and add some canvas at top.This will create a lot more impact.
Still a very good interaction shot.

Thanks Nico and Arno!
