Heyup :wavey:

Looks a proper little treasure :smile:

Why the square image Andy, and he does look a bit 'soft' - though your compression settings won't be doing the image too many favours - 56Kb for 600 sqaure jpg is a bit aggressive, you can post 200Kb to this UKNP server you know :wink:

thought sqaure worked better that was all, ill try and sharpen him up, still undecided, D300 or D2xs???

Having seen those motorcycle images from the 300 at Nikons website there's nothing that really impresses me - gimme one to try behind my Sigdog at Marshide on Avocets and then we'll see how good it is - until then I'd plumb for the D2Xs anytime :smile: :wink: :wink:

Square never works anywhere :biggrin: :biggrin: :wink: :wink: :wink:

I would crop this one just to the right of that sticky up thing from the ground.And on the left hand part of the small mound on his left, to make this into a portait.

As said a touch of USM(or the like) and its there.

A great shot of a cool looking guy :toast:
