Hi

I like this type of shot a lot - it reflects how we often see them, and for me just says spring morning! Is it just me or does it need a bit more sharpening though? WRT the catch-light, I suspect that it's a matter of opinion - I like them, and have no problem with adding them as it adds 'life' to the shot.

Cheers

Mark

Like it, though might loose a bit off the top. Super shot.

Beautifully lit. I agree with losing a bit off the top, but still a great shot. :toast: :toast:
