Hoki making a splash
Here is Hoki doing what she likes best:
I wish that I hadn't got the corner of grass in the shot, but I'm not sure that I could edit it and it still look real?
And is it too dark - should I try some post processing on it?

Lovely big splash.
I would say that it is really rather underexposed and would benefit from some PP.

Agree with Em - it does need a bit of a lift. I don't think the grass is a huge problem myself - but you could probably clone it out and still have it looking realistic!

I'd prob crop it and adjust the levels on it (cmd + L in photoshop)

I agree, it is a bit dark but still a nice action shot nonetheless

Its a good shot! Lots of movement there. Yes IMO its a bit underexposed and could do with a little boost.

Thanks all
I've had a go with the limited software I have but still not happy - doesn't help that everytime I look at it on my pc it seems to change. Perhaps I'll better give my screen a good clean and then try again

A really nice action shot but I agree, somewhat underexposed. Removal of the grass helps to balance the composition. It's worth some extra effort, don't give up on it.

Thanks Nikosnap, the way you've taken out the grass is great
I definitely won't give up practicing with the pp
