[QUOTE="KWJams, post: 78349, member: 1926"] Great story and picture and since you asked for a critique I am going to give my opinion of what would have made this a GREAT shot instead of just a neat shot. Those spur of the moments snapshots we tend to just throw the camera up and start snapping shots before we consider composition, perspective etc. Looking at the picture from the perspective of an armchair quarterback it is easy to pick it apart. The most honest critique that I have is in the composition. If you would have dropped down into a crouch, your friend would have been silhouetted against the sky instead of having a small island growing out of his face. Sometimes the last thing we think of when taking a shot is how the background affects the subject and we always need to be on guard for background objects like a tree branch sprouting from the subjects ear or an island sprouting from someone's face.
