I need your opinion. I almost like this shot, but don't. Any comments on possible improvements, cropping, PP are welcome.

    I agree, Cristobal, this one gets well into the WTF territory. Other than perhaps a little overall lightening in the second one, I don't see much difference in these two renderings. Regardless, the shot really catches the eye and makes the viewer think. That makes it successful, in my opinion.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    thanks Tom. Not sure what happened but the first one was right side up and the second one upside down, and now both are upside down...

    I like it and it is interesting. If I were messing around with it I might try a 16x9 crop just to give a feeling of distance and flight. Plus, that little distraction in the bottom left would be gone which would kind of clean up the whole image a little. Nice photo. Thanks for sharing it.

    Thanks for sharing. Maybe more ripples, but that's beyond light room, for sure.
