From Sunday morning before the weather went downhill....

This heavily pregnant female was happy to pose for a while and is probably one of our Kent celebs now as she happily suns herself as dog walkers, horses and photographers go by..

All the best

Yes I like the " guttsiness " of this image. Not too dark- just right.

I really like the rich tones of this one, and the slope sets the comp off a treat :toast:

I can only echo the other comments. A very nice composition and lovely and sharp. I haven't seen one of these for a few years.
