Amazing! It has such a contemporary - yet still pure nature look to it. I love that there is no "water line"... just ethereal white for the background.

It's a beautiful shot, but it looks soft to me. Have you tried topaz sharpen? I also would have liked him a bit more off center to the right. He can use more negative space in front of him and a little less space behind, IMO.
