I bet it would look very nice as a large print, I expect you don't get antwhere near the full impact at this size Nigel.

Very nice, Nigel, and the composition has strong editorial potential.

Great composition Nigel.................the wing position is absolutely perfect for the corner placement, and the extreme downward shooting angle works superbly in this instance :toast: :toast:

I have revisited this about 10 times over the past day looking at the comp ( and playing with it on my computer). Whilst excellent I think it would work better with a wee bit more canvas on the RHS and bottom.
