Quite striking, can't get close enough with an 800 let alone a 400mm! So well captured.

Very striking! The colours give you a great slap around the face :biggrin: Looks a little soft (on my screen anyway), but a cracker none the less. :toast: :toast:

Hi Paul very nice image and IMHO a little bit more of USM and it would be great. :toast:

Wow, what light you must have had. Very nice pose and colours but for me a bit too saturated perhaps.

I must admit when I saw this today on my work monitor it did look a little too over saturated as Paula mentions above. So I've knocked that back a little plus had another go with the sharpness. A bit better?

Thanks all :toast:
