Remember in "The Graduate" when the guy comes up to Benjamin and says, "I have just one word for you Ben........Plastics"? (or is it "Plastic"?) OK, well, "I have just 3 words for you Paul......are you ready?............. BLACK AND WHITE"....... ah, life is just like a movie - the moodiness of the shot - which would be MUCH stronger in B / W - over takes the use of color IMHO.........

Actually, the original shot is properly exposed, Wayne. I used a Kubota action (Return of the King) which diffused and blew out the hightlights.
I'm attaching my raw shot for you

Shirley, your wish is my Photoshop composite (or something like that). I'm reposting another version of this for you, honey.

Not bad Paul. I think I'm going to recite one of your critiques to me though. Hope you don't mind.
These shots are very tricky and easy to overexpose. Only advice I have on this one is to try and underexpose just a bit then fix in post processing. If you read the reply on my image I think we were both battling the same light! :)
Still a great image my friend, I hope to visit with you soon.
