It's tough when forced to categorize pix for critique request. Was

gonna say children, nature, nude, etc., but think travel works. Any

feedback on the image itself is appreciated. Thanks.

I am absolutely impressed with this image and am glad you are a memeber of PN. Very inspiring. Photography does not get any better. 7/7 by me.

The right light really makes the shot. I'm not quite sure what his hands are doing, although that may be fine in a large print where it's more visible. Excellent handling of exposure (spot sunlight is tricky!) and having the light glancing off his shoulders. This is an excellent scene.

I think what makes this shot is the lighting, and it really shows the beauty of what light can do. Excellent shot, and so glad to see something so simple and elegant make it to the top of the list. Wonderful job.

Thanks everyone for your feedback. Jenny, he was fishing with his bare hands, and was able to catch a few (don't ask me what they are, only about 1/2 inch long.) The area was very wooded and extremely dark. There was a few beams of light made it through the canopy. Very serene though, and that's what I tried to convey. Thanks!

Great lighting. Perfect exposure.

 

As far as retrieving the EXIF info you can do it in Photoshop or other photo editing packages. I think Windows XP will show some of the EXIF info if you right click and select properties. I'd be shocked if you couldn't also do the same with a Mac.
