Hi Andy

Lovely image - I like the crop and the more unusual pose; lots of character too.

Hi Andy,

Very interesting pose but cracking nonetheless! :biggrin: Beautiful detail in this shot! :biggrin:
Like your reference to the D300 (was playing with one in the shop today) will probably have some questions tomorrow in a post D3 Vs D300. :biggrin:
