Beautiful golden light, for sure.
Nice profile shot, sharp, low angle, and bright eye - well-done!

The light is sweet and the background gives a sense of place. Nice image.

Very nice warm lighting & color Matt.
I like the overall 'mood' of the shot, with the gentle movement of the water enhancing this..
Great comp & details, well done!

Nice light, good techs and detail. The wavelets add so much to these. I really appreciate the low angle on this. Well done.

Nice eye contact Matt. I like the rows of waves diminishing in the background
