Interesting shot Paul.
Cold do with some canvas on the right I think.
Seems a little noisy in places.
Nice eye grabbing shot though.
Cheers

Looks very noisy Paul and I'd concur with John over more canvass.

You've lost a lot of tonal info in your processing too matey.

Why crop an image so hard Paul :confused:

Hi Paul. Very strange effect on this one, almost like a watercolour than a photograph. Nice action shot but think it needs processing differently. :smile:

Hi Paul,

Great subject and pose, but I agree with the above. Is this a large crop? Maybe if you let us know how you processed the image people may be able to offer advice.

A little bewildered that on a critique forum this image only attracted 3 replies.

Cheers,

Lewis.

Yes Paul think something has gone haywire in your processing as it looks well and truly overdone in some way unless of course you intended it to be so. Perhaps you could show us another example.
