Great capture of expression. This guy has a lot of character. The grain works just fine here. One thing I would like to see/try if it was mine is eliminating the background entirely. It's almost there already. Nice job.

Hard Working

Thanks everybody for the comments and feedback. I would like to address a couple of items that came up more than once.

1) Color of the wood. The wood is as it appeared. I split a few pieces from the pile in the background, so it's fresh split. It started raining after I had everything setup so I packed up the camera until the rain ended (it was a light drizzle really). The wood being wet, took on a darker more saturated tone.

2) No lumberjack. Well, the lumberjack is me - part time around the house anyway, therefore I couldn't be in the boots and in the photo at the same time. Actually, I never really thought about it since it was a shoe challenge. Guess, I could have set the 10 second timer. That would have been interesting! ;^)

As for the rest of the wood pile, it's going to wait for splitting. It's not up in rotation until next summer...besides, I might need it for a prop again. He-he.

Nice composition. The trees look huge! Wish the water wasn't so overexposed.

I really like the lines on this. Wish the clouds top right weren't so burnt.

This works except for the reflection. Would like to see something a bit more fun in the shades.
