Reposting with a slightly different Processing.

Let me know which you find better.

Later one is better...

I agree the repost looks better. The original was a bit overexposed in the top left part. The pose and the eye contact is nice. Wish the sun was behind you. Thanks for sharing.

The repost looks better. I guess it stood up when your boat reached the place?

Nice eye contact.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

[Bibhav Behera]
