Beautiful light on this fellow - perfect exposure, a nice pose, bit of reflection, and sweet colours.
Well done!

I have yet to try out your bean bag/boogie board combo but your results are always inspiring. Excellent lighting here as well

Now I know the secret to your low perspective, the boogie board approach. I like the low angle and how the light reflects upward from the water, well done Rob.

Very well taken, Rob. Both the low angle and great light enhance this image. I wonder if you had the option of including the entire reflection from your vantage point. Wonderful image. :toast:
