Hi Everyone

I have just joined the forum after following it on and off for the past year or so. I've really enjoyed looking at everyone's pictures so thought it was time to get round to posting a few of mine up. I thought I'd start with one from a Dorset wood last year details below. I've jst got back from 7 months in the Philippines so might well start posting some pretty random stuff in the near future!

Cheers
Matt

Look forward to your "random stuff" in the future :smile:

Cheers guys, thanks for the comments. Yes there is a lot of space, I took lots of this bird and this one was actually with magazines in mind in order to leave plenty of text space on one side so probably isn't to everyone's taste as is :smile: .

Thought that might have been the case Matt - as an editorial or DPS the comp is sound :wink:

Good Woody shot Matt. Welcome to the joys of posting here. Your website is interesting too and the 3 of you have very enviable lives.

Hello Matt,
Welcome to UKNP. Looking forward to viewing more images from you. I can see why you left the space it's wise sometimes to cover such eventualities.

Best wishes,
Daviid

You've probably learnt already that it's worth posting the reason for your diferent composition in your description, else it's gonna get mentioned by everyone :biggrin:

If it's for a "DPS" as you Pro's call it, then it looks fine. Not overly keen on the black BG on the right that you've elected to keep in the image. Subjective I'm sure

Welcome anyway :wink:
