A pleasant image, although to me it appears a little soft.

I do find the credits overpower this particular image. :toast:

Hi Ian
I tried dropping the gamma a little on this and it seems to emphasise the back light a bit, and gives it more atmosphere. ( Just my opinion.)
I do agree about the cedits and reckon too they would balance better on the left.
Now I am getting nitty !!! :wink: :wink: :toast:
Cheers

Nice enough but the light seems a little dull.

Tis a tad soft Ian, but I like the gleam in the eye and lighting.

Backlighting is well controlled and the subject is always a winner.

Nits covered, cheers,

A very nice image spoiled by the lack of critical sharpness.

Beautiful backlighting and pose! I wonder if cropping has maybe caused the apparent softness?
