 Thank you for the great comments everyone. This was originally supposed to be a larger shot, but as has been correctly pointed out, the CA was soo bad, I had to crop it to this (which turned out to be a better shot anyway). I'm not sure what I can do about that with basic editing, but tried lots of stuff and finally just decided that it was interesting enough to go ahead and submit, flaws and all. I'm happy! Thanks again to the commentors.

Pretty harsh CA. Since the solution isn't allowed in basic editing I think I would have tried a B&W or toned approach.

nice pic but the chromatic aberration is really bad along the chain and the back, You probably used a cheap zoom lens. i think you should be careful taking pics with a large contrasts and a telezoomlens

Great up close shot and cropping...I can FEEL him strapped in there. Interesting detail, including the wrinkling behind the knees. Like the tone. Bumping.

I like the subject but the high contrast has led to extreme purple fringing, maybe you were on full zoom, as I used to experience this in similar High contrast shots with my previous camera.
