Honestly, I looked back at the original again and I can't figure out how I managed to make it usable... It's such an weirdly exposed image that I'm stunned. And I had to take so many decisions.. like should the face become really bright or should I let it in the shadows.. Now, only the voters can tell me if I was right or wrong..
I know I've taken some better stuff (technically) but I kind of love this one.. so.. you know.
complete candid of course.. most of my other shots were with him looking in the back so it's a very lucky bit that I got eye contact..
and yes, he rowed us to and back from the other side of the lake... I nearly had a mad dash up the mountains but I realized the limitations of time.. there's another lake up there (there's a pathway in the folds of the mountains)but it's a 5 hour hike and usually frozen over..
and if you look closely on the lake surface you can see other boats.
Same place as
Imagine this picture in this boat .. I'm so glad my boat man had better taste..
Another image of this place that describes the folklore.

Holy Crap!!!.. Why is a man who is 155 pounds wearing a XXXL outfit??. Priceless! He looks like the "after photo" of a Jenny Craig commercial or biggest loser ad!
EXCELLENT !! makes for a great travel shot , well almost I wish that red/orange trimming was not there. GREAT background , white cloud just a tad blown out. 8
He seems to be competing with a much-too-beautiful background. I almost wish he weren't there. A tighter DOF might have isolated your subject more effectively.
