Ken, I like the pose. As Rachel said, "Fun". The shot looks sharp to me. "our regular afternoon treat" - I am jealous!! Maybe one day I will get to see this in person. TFS.
Thamks everybody, I think I must jave had a fuzzy moment when posting this as it looks sharp now.
Rachel,
An interesting question, I originaly did this as a landscape then somebody suggested a portrait may be better, I really think I like the wider version
Great action! The sun appears to be above and straight behind you. That makes the background bright, and shadowless, without form. I suggest darkening the top half of the image (the bright background). Darken a little, but not too much as you want the mud to still show well.
