I was walking along the New River in Wythe County Virginia and spotted this boy beating the 95 degree heat!
If I hadn\'t had the camera I would\'ve joined him!
I used curves to adjust contrast,high pass, color balance and unsharp filter.

something disturbing about the foreshortened face and roughage on the neck. and the way the water makes him look plastic. but I like to be disturbed. 8
Wonderful processing job on this. Has an oldtime feel to it. Looks like the noise reduction was a little strong, but hard to tell with water. So, if I can't really tell for sure...good job! ;^) The background on this works great. Good luck in the challenge.
nice shot, though it looks like it needs a slight rotation. one part of me says, "oh, what a joyous moment." the other part of me says, "ahhg, does he know how many ducks crap in that water?" lovely colors, great idea, good luck!
