Hi John,

This is a beauty! Lovely setting and pose!

Lovely... gosh I still have a 402 somewhere here, battery died yonks ago, had it when I worked on the Stourbridge Express some XX years ago... If you are still using yours and if I can find mine you are more than welcome to it for spares.

All the best

Lovely shot John,

Agree with Jack, regarding your use of flash {nicely balanced}

I know from experience how hard it is to achieve good lighting using flash, this looks very good to me.
