Nice image to come away with Stuart :toast:

Public hide I'm guessing by the high PoV - I always want to kick the bottom boards out :eek: Is this a full frame or portrait crop from LS - if it's the latter it might be nice to add a bit of room to the right.

I'd be pleased with it if I was you :wavey:

Andy,it was shot portrait and a sliver off the lhs due to distractions,and yes public hide so pov not ideal,will take steel toe capped boots next time and give your suggestion a go :eek:

Good composition Stu. Contrast and colours are great.
