Two files. I plucked a kayaker out of coastal waters and placed him in a netting (suitably prepared) that was originally something designed to contain vegetables. I have, as carefully as I know how, disguised the identity of the kayaker since there was no model release available and there was a terrain problem in finding the fellow and getting one. :>)

A Really fantastic idea, but first off, unless you are planing on trying to sell the image or the person wanted you to Hide their ID, you really didn't have to. And blocking out the eyes is normally good enough, I think the blurred face is a major distraction as is the glob on his head.

I think the net came out very nicely, I would have to think about the kayaker, that you should have changed perspective of him. You see how the net comes together more on the right side? I would have placed him at an angle there, as though he is coming out from the side and not straight at you. I think that would have given a much more dramatic feel. I also think you might change the lower paddle a touch to maybe make it feel like he is 'in' the net paddling through it, instead of just floating on top.

I like the idea and the red colour goes good, but it doesn't have a dramatic enough feel. Try changing the perspective and see how the feel of the whole image changes.
