Nice, I wouldn't have known flash was used, just the way it should be.

Lovely shot, beautiful colour and detail... didn't realise they were quite so fuzzy :rolleyes:

Like the second shot too, nice to see the orange. Are the highlights a little blown? Not sure if thats my monitor, but looks a bit bright to me... Nice pose!

Cheers for all the feedback. I find it very difficult to get exposure right on these beasts. So the whites may be blown a little. Here is another attempt from 2006. 350D, Sigma 150mm Cheers MJ :smile:
