Like the crest raised. A bit more brighness would enhance the image. Wish you had golden morning/evening light. It would have looked wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

I like the composition. The raised crest looks appealing. Some more brightness would have been nice, but you were already shooting at a high ISO with a +2/3 dialed in. The tuft of green on the top right corner distracts a bit from the overall colour theme of the image. Did you tray any verticals to avoid the same, or one from a slightly different angle?
