This angle couldnt be better, and I like the soft light and pastel colours. The slightly raised foot adds to the walking pose. I can see where you based your line of level, and it works for me.
Beautiful light, nice and sharp, and raised foot make this one for me. Only thing I might consider if mine, is to clone out the stone or whatever it is right between his legs. It does tend to draw my eye.
Fantastic Lorant! I'd get rid of the pebble too....but for me it's because it is too "hard" as compared to the lovely softness of the colors and layers. A real winner here!
So pretty, the pastel colors of the background are such a perfect compliment to the muted colors of the willet. I don't like to sterilize my own images of all the beach elements, but I do not care for the stone between his legs as it draws my attention, and I would eliminate it.
