Those are so cute!

Urp! Urp! Great shot!

Wish I could make out more of the facial features though...

Yeah, I was shooting almost directly into the sun, no matter where he dived, he seemed to come up with the sun in my lens. This has already had a pretty heavy battering with the levels tool.

Photoshop has a wonderful tool that acts as a fill flash. I did this in Elements. The tool is called just that, fill flash. Also used the back lighting feature to make the water darker after the fill flash.

In photoshop you go to image>adjustments>shadow/highlights
In Ps Elements is is called fill flash.

Thanks for the tip and great fix-up Petog Smile

Edit: I fixed the file and replaced it on my website.

No probs Bob. I like your version better for reducing the shadows but the highlights should have been also reduced to relieve some of the waters reflections. Just my opinion.
