Jose on Lake Titicaca

[Jason]

Hi everyone, it's been a while. Had a busy summer and autumn, including a trip to Peru. I still haven't made it through all of the photos from the trip, but I've been slowly working at them. Here's one from Lake Titicaca--we stayed the overnight on a fairly remote peninsula in the town of Llachon. The next day we took a small motor boat to the Uros Island and the Taquile. This is a shot of the nice fellow, Jose, that took us around the lake.

Really nice image jason - I dig the comp.
If I'm critiquing, image feels a bit too dark to me. I think if it were mine, I'd try to lighten the face a bit to bring out more detail - I might even add 5-10% exposure to the whole image, which might also do the trick. (then I'd reburn or remask as needed..like on the boat's edge at lower right.) Hope that may help.

Marko, thanks for the critique-- much appreciated!

Sound like quite a trip - I look forward to seeing the rest of the pics. Great start, he looks like an interesting character.
