Hi

Nice shot - which part of the island were you in?

Nice detail in the head, looks a little like the flash wasn't lined up properly? not too sure on the crop here, certainly doesn't look to be an easy one to frame and I wonder if a closer crop might benifit, to concentrate on the detail in the head, just a thought...

Mark - I was on the north-eastern part of the island.

Phil - I tend to aim the flash downwards (as opposed to head-on) as I think it looks more 'natural'. Yes, the crop is dodgy, I tried to ask him nicely but he just wouldn't co-operate! I have a close-up of the head which is better composed.

Thanks for your input, appreciate it.
