Best viewed large I think, cracking shot.

Hi Keith lovely shot, I really like the location on this one, and it's different.

I might look at reducing the magenta overall, and perhaps a hint of blue in the eyes, just a fraction (optional). Based on the size I think you might have got some sizing wrong. :biggrin:

What a super image enhanced still further with the large version.

Yes, different and certainly worth viewing large.

A fine image, Keith My only comments would be that I wouldn't have sharpened it quite so much, or probably I would reduced the amount of sharpening applied to the sand face, which is starting to look a bit over done. With the high resolution of the D7000/D800 etc, you don't need to apply as much sharpening as formerly. I don't see any colour problems.
