Hi to all,

Hi Andy,
I'm no great expert but I've come back to this image a couple of times and for me this falls into the "nearly there" category. It doesn't quite work for me - I think the highlights in the background are what put me off. The light also seems a trifle harsh but I guess you can't do much about the light at time of day an image like this presents itself.
