Tell the truth, Paul. You're riding backwards, aren't you?. Great shot.

Lol! This is a great action capture, and of course she is bonus.

Those waves sure have nice curves, don't they?

Yes, her soft beauty is a direct contrast with her surroundings, in particular the geology, with the wave action a combination of both. Your manipulation is perfect, looking very natural (eve your light source matches), and good for you in letting us know it was a manip--there are some Caedesians who post obvious manipulated photos but don't fess up to it. Years ago, when I was chasing a major in fine art, I would sometimes use artificial means (projection) to get my drawings on canvas, then use my more advanced skills in color and shape to flesh out the ideas. Some of my studio mates claimed that was cheating but I've always felt that art was a process and that the final result was what really mattered. Nice work as always, Paul.
