Nice, low perspective and warm colors!
Since you work in RAW now you can maybe recover (thats the tool in Lightroom, but it is in everey RAW converter I think) some of the "whites". It's still OK in this image but just in case... :biggrin: :wink:

grtz,

No critique to give - looks fine to me and you seem to have your RAW processing sorted

Hi Mark,

Yes , I'm very very impressed with the sheer quality that RAW has over jpg and I'm finding that the processing side isn't that difficult.

Thanks for looking and thanks to all who took the time to comment :toast:
