Nice. If it was on ancient rusty old barber wire it would have ben even nicer!

Hi Stuart - very nice, good 'editorial' type comp, just a tad higher in the frame would be better - only a tad mind :toast:

That's a nice one Stuart. I suppose if it were mine, I might try cropping a bit off the LHS and the top to see what it looks like. It might work ok in portrait format if you have enough pixels left? Either suggestion is a bit picky though.

It's a good one Stu. You've got the exposure bang on. Not easy to preserve detail around the eye on these guys. On the down side I hate that wire.
