I think my view of it last night was largely coloured by the hour and a half I’d spent trying to reshoot. Perhaps I should get into the habit of doing all the post work and then leaving the images on one side for a couple of hours before uploading.

I guess some things just improve with time!

As a side note, I really should get around to upgrading the gallery software which I’m using. The new version comes with a voting/rating system which might be an interesting way of deciding this sort of thing. You lot are probably better judges of what works/doesn’t work than I am anyway!

The colours are subtle, I didn’t know there were feet so I didn’t miss them, how much relevant information is there between his snout and his eyes anyway, and the composition is perfectly good.

Also I like how the horizontal blurry lines of the waves give the impression of speed.

We must find a way to define who of us has more say when it comes to photography, because when it comes to this shot, one of us is clearly wrong.
